Surgery in a week. PLZ help.
Tue, 08/29/2006 - 17:12Topic: Surgery and Devices
I am having surgery to remove a 7-8 mm tumor or lesion in my right Temporal lobe next Weds. I have had an increbidly positive attitude about the situation but now I am starting to get a little scared. I guess I am worried b/c I am a Senior in college and just started my second to last semester 2 weeks ago and am hoping to complete it after going through with this. I was told I would be good to go in a month, is that about right? I see alot of problems listed on here that ppl have encountered, I am just looking for something positive but I want to know the truth also. Thanks in advance!

Had my surgery Weds out of the hosptial today(Sunday). Doctors told me I did as well as I could possbiliy done. They removed a 6mm tumor or imflamtion plus 2mm around it. Headaches are deffeinetely a problem but things get better every single day. Still in some pain but I haven't had any seizure actvity since the surgery. Even trade to me. I have 25 small staples and will be taken out next monday and I will also get the pathology report back that will tell me exactly what it was. Doctor said it was more of an imflamation than a tumor. Just wanted to bring closure to this thread. I am feeling great and the positives by far exceed the negatives at this point! Thanks for your prayers!
