I had an emergency operation to remove this Tumour a year ago on 2 April 2025. I had to have a 30-day radiotherapy treatment last June & July and then a MRI every 3 months to monitor the residual tumour threads still remaining. Sadly, during the months of Nov 25 - Feb 26, this 'residual' tumour has now doubled in size and is re-growing and I am due to meet the neuro-surgeon shortly to discuss a further operation. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of a secondary operation of this type?
HI GaryG298207
a warm welcome to the online community. Sorry to hear about all that's been going on.
My own person experience lies in supporting my late husband through his three year Stage 4 primary brain tumour journey. That said, the members of this group have a divers range of personal experience so I am hopeful that someone with relevant experience will be along shortly.
