Hi, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour this Thursday and am due surgery on Wednesday 6th August. Kinda feeling frightened but trying to be brave, just needed to write itdoen to vopesith the reality of the situation.
Welcome. Of course you are scared. I was in your position July 24, a year ago. After complete removal, radiochemo then 6 months of chemo, I now consider myself cured.
youve probably read a lot of negative stuff, and sadly not evry one is as lucky as me, but not all stories end badly!
are you having an awake craniotomy? Do you know ehat type it is?
