This is a hello.

Diagnosis 2004,craniotomy 2005.

Then tegretol for several years and yearly scans,and life continued in a way i recognized..although depression rose up.scans  were to end in 2020,as there were no signs ofactivity.

However a mass measuring 1mm was seen.The follow up scan 12 months later,end of 2021,showed the bone invasion over half the skull plus a tumour mass.

6 weeks of radiotherapy, meant end of my driving,fatigue that was mind blowing  increased depression and high anxiety,and end of my working life.Now I have one scan a year.No meds .Diagnosis of Encephalomalacia.Fatigue,brain fog,poor balance ,poor memory.

I can drive again ,but utterly hate the life I'm living ,and feel unseen in the NHS.out of sight out of mind.

I ve been told it will shorten my life,but as its atypical ,no one can offer insights on how that might be.

I d love to hear from anyone going through similar.
