are you still as sharp mentally ?
marvin65:
I am wondering whether after surgery, you find that mentally, it makes you think slower
or come up with words ?
JD808:
Yes, 3 weeks out from my Translab my cognitive skills are still strong. Fatigue is a real issue though that does impact mental acuity when it sets in.
marvin65:
JD808. Then I think my verbal skills( choice of words) are affected bec it affected my cerebellum. In my MRI scan after 2 months shows some white area in the cerebellum. It affects coordination. Sort of like a ministroke. Not everyone is affected the same way. Thanks for your feedback.
Patti:
yes! i have never been the same. maybe because of hydrocephallus or other complications. but i had to stop being a teacher.

Two years post op. 4.2 cm.tumor- sub total. No surgery complications to note. 58 years old. Athletic.
No! My memory and abilities are definitely compromised. Searching for words and typing is a challenge. It was more significant during the first year, It's gotten better, but still a problem. Fatigue and wonky head is with me most of the time.
I think the damage was done by the tumor size impinging on my brainstem. That's just a hunch. No one has ever explained the physical reason why? What I keep hearing is that we are all different. With that being said, I am fortunate with the positive outcome. It's helpful for me to know I am not alone in this struggle. Thank you for posting.
