How are you now?
thank you for your inspiration. I am 6 weeks post-op and back at work as of 7.17.17. Learning not to feel sorry for myself is getting there now I have to learn how to celebrate my victories, still learning my limitations.
Thanks, Millicent

I had 9 hour surgery for same thing in May 2017. Face is numb on right side. How long was it until your facial nerves regenerated?
my husbands surgery cost over 200,000
Hi James. My husband is in the exactly same situation having been diagnosed RCC. Brain surgery was 7/5. There is a tumor is his lungs as well. HOw are you doing today?
I am 6 months on from same original diagnosis and op. I also got bacterial meningitis and osteomyelitis 9 weeks after opening so had further 2 ops to remove bone flap etc. I then got C diff. 6 months on it feels poorly. Pain and balance are problem. Weakness and fatigue terrible. Just keep being told to be patient etc. Not helpful. I'm a teacher and need to work. I am losing money with no real prognosis or timescale.
I don't know where you heard 8 weeks but my surgeon told me it tak3s about 2 years to fully recover from brain tumor surgery. It hasn't been a year and a half yet and I still have a few lingering effects.
Yes you can keep improving for YEARS. I had a craniotomy 23 years ago and I'm still improving!!! 80% of my were in the first 5-6 years. But I've had slow improvements in the last 10-15 years as well.
Hi I am in Day 16 post op love your post. Today I start my exercise program i would like to hear from you .

Did you have loss of feeling or numbness on your left side(leg,thigh)? If so how long did it last?
Thank you for your story. I has a meningioma removed 3/2016.the size of a lemon. Although its been a little over 2 years I am yet healing. I consider myself blessed. There is a balance problem, some nerve damage on my left side , and a nervous jitter that comes and goes. Does that make sense to anyone else?
Did the tumor cause your nephew any proptosis of the eye?
hello, I also just had a meningioma removed from orbital. Did you have any proptosis of the eye that the tumor was behind and if so was it resolved after your surgery?
A friend of mine has a tumor in the dorsal aspect of the fourth ventricle. She is probably going to have surgery and I need to know what parts of her body may be affected by this surgery?
