My Mother in Law just had part of her brain tumor removed about a month ago. Since then she can not hold a normal conversation. It is like random things about her past and childhood. But its the same story everyday throughout the entire day. Is this a permanent side effect or will this fade as she gets better...

My brother had a tumor removed a year ago. He seems to be doing fine some days and not so good other. After reading comments that other people have left, my brother is going through the same thing except he is seeing several doctors and everyone of them is treating him for something different, depression, steroids, thyroid,headache, parcason, ect. These are the things he is telling me?? I not so convince on all the drugs he is on but I'm not a doc. Is anyone else on a lot of drug?? Thanks

I had a tumor of cancer removed from my brain 3 yrs ago and I have so many doctors and I take a lot of medications because I have all of them problems and fibromyigia then some. I don't like it all because i'm only 24 and it seems like I'm about 50. I know it seems unreal to you but it is just about ture.

Hi, my brother has a brain tumor. He lives in Ethipoia. The doctors said the tumor is 7 inch long and he is in a critical condition. I am working on the process to bring him here and to get a better help. However, after the doctors told him the side effects after the surgery, my brother refused to have the surgery. Please give me your comments on how I can help him to decide to have the surgery.

My younger cousin aged 18 yrs suffering from the brain tumor from last
one year.Currently he is admitted into Inlacs Budrani hospital,Pune.He
has diagnosed with the brain tumor situated just above the neck at the
back of forehead. The doctors started the radiation therapy one year
ago from 1st sept to 30 th oct 2011. After 5/6 months his brain got
swelled beacause of the radation effect for which the doctors did a
surgery in which they removed some part of skull so that the swelled
brain should fit in the space.
After 2/3 months again he is now suffering in which he can't swallow
any food even his saliva so the doctors now have placed a tube inside
his throat so that he can now survive on the liquid directly poured
into it.
Pls advice me some further medicatgion as we are uncertain about his
health.He is again now admitted in the hospital and is under
observation.

My mom had her tumor removed 3years ago an she still hasn't fully recovered. The doctor and a naturalist say that the tingly sensation On her surgery side will not stop until around 5 yrs cause that's when the Anastasia completely leave her brain. Just today she blanked out at the for a good 10 min and was mummbling jibber ish…I believe that everyone has different side effect and you just got to help her out. Just take it day by day cause it's a long healing process.

So like she said just take it one day at a time and also prayer works!

My mother was diagnosed with the worst case of glioma and she also had surgery to remove the tumor. After surgery the recuperation was brutal since she was dizzy all the time ans nauseas...She also fell a couple of time out of the bed and her last fall brought her to the emergency room and after 2 weeks of the fall she died.

my son had a non-cancer tumor [the best boat to be in] but he had the worst recovery from the surgery- he was left handed and had to become right handed he went to a infant sage after the surgery and i had to help him recover doing everything for him, he had lots of balance issues but no speach problems (gratefully)- he couldnt go up-down stairs and had 3 months of bed recovery and 3 months physical theraly for walking again. no-one really really understands what we went through and he seems to be good outside but other things have happened since the surgery....he is tired allt he time and i cant figure this out he si just 18 and goes to bed early and wakes up at a decent hour...he has not had a seziure but he has tremours (when it happens he looks like a parkensions*(sp?) patient -his head shakes uncontrolably) his personality is just off and not like he use to be uncontrolable anger sometimes....and sometimes he is normal...diferant days bring diferant things is seems and i dont know what to make of this. i feel for him cause i know this has actually taken a few years off of his life and he is playing catch-up with time but i am having a hard time finding any research on this type of tumor because its not life threatning but its serious to us....dealing with all the aftermath and finding others going through the same things has been hard. The only people i have talked to that can relate are people that say they know someone who has had a stroke....glad you guys are here you've helped me a lot! God Bless!!

Hi my name is pete, my surgery was about 1 1/2 year ago and true like you said you may look alright outside but the feeling inside is difficult to explain, people don't seem to understand even my doc is at a loss to the side effect that is happening to me now like imbalanceness, stiffness on the right side of leg and the heaviness of body that most of the time am laying down in bed. Had spasm attack 5 months ago on the right side of whole body until the face but was conscious and can't do much about it until it stopped by it self, went to hospital and was given some kind of jab and send home after that. Thank God it didn't recurr. The best thing to do is pray hard. Godbless.

Hi everyone, I am 40 years old. I had a brain tumor [meningeom] removed from the left side (front) of my head three years ago. It took me some time to recover from the common side effects after surgery. I was happy and everyone rejoice with me on my improvement. My physical appearance looks o.k but I suffer inside and some people hardly believe me. Sometimes they feel I am lazy. I still experience tiredness, imbalance (weak legs)and headache. I am a single mother of two children. Presently, I am not working because I cannot see myself coping with the care of the kids and work. I have done series of neurological tests incl. MRT and CT. Everything is normal. My doc. says my feelings are psychological.I am confused. Is he right? What do I do to overcome these? Please advise me.

I feel for you here! I had two falx meningiomas removed last September. I had no idea what to expect from surgery or the recovery process. Overall from what I have come to understand my recovery has been good. Post surgery I still tire easily, my strength although improving is far short of what it used to be, I have constant weakness and what I believe is "spasticity" in my right side and I still occasionally struggle to find the right words even when I know what I want to say. In spite of all this I continually hear "you look so good"!! If you are feeling the same things as I it is definitely not psychological! I only wish I knew what to suggest you do to overcome these deficits. I had an appointment with a neuropsychiatrist a couple of months ago and he suggested seeing a physiatrist, however, I haven't been able to find one around here and unless it is covered by provincial health I couldn't afford it anyways. Wishing you well.
