We met the neurosurgeon today and he explained in detail what I need done to get the tumors taken out of my skull ...
Kinda scary stuff but I really need it. The big tumor is likely surrounded with blood and that's pretty dangerous if it keeps spreading.
In roughly 2 weeks he wants to do the corkscrew in the back of my head, and then 2 weeks after that we'll go under Gamma Knife for the other 3 tumors as they're under 3 mm ...
Apparently the main surgery will take about a week of recovery and the Gamma is pretty much immediate after.
So I really am looking forward to getting this done. There are of course chances of complications anytime someone takes a cookie scoop to your brain but I do want to make some progress and I haven't been able to be normal in over a month and I need to be able to use my left side normally as well as sleep through the night.
Okay so this is scary but its the most likely to make things start to improve and I'm feeling solid about the surgeon.
I'll keep updating and once I have the date I'll post.
