Hi Alex26, just wanted to say that I totally understand how difficult this time is, and I feel for you. 

I hope you have a good time in Kew, and that things went ok with the surgeon. I had a craniotomy four years ago for an grade 4 astrocytoma, and am still stable, so I’m happy to answer any minor questions you didn’t get to ask the surgeon x

Also fyi, I spent a few months after the op getting my language skills back, and even now I struggle occasionally when I’m tired. But don’t despair, keep working on it and don’t push yourself. Duolingo is great for the brain! Wondering what languages you’ve tried?

Sending positive thoughts

Thank you, Leeluu.
