Papilledema -- Anyone Experience This Prior to Surgery?
« on: June 25, 2015, 08:06:57 pm »
I went to a retina specialist today, because my eye doctor found something funny with my retinas. Apparently I have papilledema caused by my tumor. The specialist is going to talk to the neurosurgeon. My surgery is two months away, which seems ridiculous if I have this papilledema, as it seems like the chances of losing some eyesight are possible. I have no vision problems now.

Anyone have papilledema before their surgery?
