Hi, these stories sound very similar to mine. I’m 33yo, I had a few seizures/ grand mal seizure 3 months ago. Suspected grade 2 IDH astrocytoma size of small plum on my left lobe attached to my speech nerve. Im waiting for an awake craniotomy- no date yet. Has anyone any advice on how to survive the waiting! I’m a bank nurse myself and still work but have no kids so the waiting is long. I feel like I can’t plan past a few days. Still counting myself lucky compared to others I don’t take it for granted. Any advice welcome xxx
