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?
