>>77976898That's one hell of a location for brain tumor. I hope everything well for her. Even then I wonder what kind of side effects she will get post surgery.
>>77977801>majority of people that get a brain tumor removed will rarely live more than 10+ years post operation from the extremely traumatic (to the body) incisions that are done in the brain. I had a brain tumor removal 3 years ago and I'm doing good. I have frequent health checkups and MRIs and all of the reports are fine. I don't think I'll die anytime soon. I think you are imagining all brain tumors are of same severity as what you hear in news or see on television.
The severity of brain tumors greatly depends on where it's located, whats it's size is and if it's benign or cancerous. In my case, I had a benign tumor of 5cm diameter in cerebellum(the lower hanging lobe at the back of the brain). Apparently I had the tumor since birth but I never noticed it because my symptoms were non existent. Usually people get headache, nausea, weakness etc but I had none of it. The only reason it was even found out was when I went for an eye checkup and no glasses were able to fix my slightly blurry vision. The doctor checked my retina and found that they were dry and were getting very low blood flow. So he then recommended an MRI to check if there is an issue with the vein. Turns out a brain tumor was putting pressure on the vein.
And I don't have any life threatening incisions on me. Yes, these incisions do cause some initial trauma to your body post surgery but that's what hospital is for. They monitor you for a week or more according to your need. Once your wounds heal to a good point and your vitals are normal, they discharge you. Now all I have to show for is a long scar that goes to my neck which I feel looks cool and is a conversation starter.
>No, don't go researching how one feels or starts because you could become a hypochondriac if you are easy to scare.It's not that bad, I had to do it before my operation because I needed to know what was going to happen. But I was also very suicidal at that point of my life, so the idea that I could die didn't bother me in the slightest. They were going to give me anesthesia before operation anyway, so only two things could happen. Either the operation is successful and I wake up, or I die and never wake up from my sleep, not like any of them is going to hurt, so who cares.
