Title: Second surgery-HELP
Post by: nattyc21 on October 30, 2025, 09:51:13 AM

I had a translab surgery in October of 2023(3cm tumor).  Then I went through Gamma Knife in April 2024 for the residual tumor.  The tumor is starting to grow and it is causing symptoms (currently it is 1.2x1.1x1.2).  I have have been told to do a second surgery.  I am curious about those of you that had a second surgery.  What was the recovery like? easier? harder? They are debating between a repeat translab vs a retrosigmoid/parial craniotomy.  Any advice would be great! Thanks everyone! Keep fighting!
