Brief poll on conditions post-treatment
« on: April 15, 2009, 10:24:43 pm »
I'd like to get some research from this so I'm hoping for direct short answers and an on topic thread. I'm looking for brief answers to conditions post treatment for surgery and radio-surgery along with details of what treatment approach was taken. For those that would like to participate here are the questions (all numbered answers will be on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being normal, 1 being abnormal or bad.

I realize this is an unscientific survey but I think much of our decision making is made from all the disparate discussion that are had here. I'm attempting to bring them together into a easier to scan format. Please try to refrain from hijacks..thanks. I simply listed all the issues on the forum under post-treatment...if you think I'm missing something let me know.

1. size of tumor pre-treatment
2. treatment type (radio-surgery or surgery)
3. delivery method or surgical approach taken

4. balance pre-treatment (1-10)
5. balance post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)
6. balance post-treatment long term (1-10)

7. hearing pre-treatment (1-10)
8. hearing post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)
9. hearing post-treatment long term (1-10)

10. headache pre-treatment (1-10)
11. headache post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)
12. headache post-treatment long term (1-10)

13. Facial pre-treatment (1-10)
14. facial post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)
15. facial post-treatment long term (1-10)

16. cognitive pre-treatment (1-10)
17. cognitive post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)
18. cognitive post-treatment long term (1-10)

19. would you deem your treatment a success (1-10) 10 is very successful 1 not successful
20. Comments - clarifications -
21. where was your treatment performed, Drs?

1. size of tumor pre-treatment   - 6mm
2. treatment type (radio-surgery or surgery) - radio-surgery
3. delivery method or surgical approach taken - proton-beam

4. balance pre-treatment (1-10)  -  9
5. balance post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)  -  3
6. balance post-treatment long term (1-10)  -  8

7. hearing pre-treatment (1-10)  -  6
8. hearing post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)  -  3
9. hearing post-treatment long term (1-10)  -  1

10. headache pre-treatment (1-10)  -  10
11. headache post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)  -  10
12. headache post-treatment long term (1-10)  -  5

13. Facial pre-treatment (1-10)  -  10
14. facial post-treatment short term (3 months) (1-10)  -  10
15. facial post-treatment long term (1-10)  -  9

19. would you deem your treatment a success (1-10) 10 is very successful 1 not successful   -  3
20. Comments - clarifications -  Bummed that its growing again obviously. If the radio surgery had actually killed it i'd have to rate my treatment success an 8 probably. Not as good as I would have hoped for but life is good. Cognitive issues mostly because i feel I'm slower at tasks that require a lot of concentration when I have a headache or my head is spinning or even just wonky.
21. where was your treatment performed, Drs? Mass General Drs Loeffler and Chapman

18. cognitive post-treatment long term: N/A

19. would you deem your treatment a success: 9 so far
20. Comments - clarifications - I am 9 weeks post surgery, so I don't have a lot of long-term data yet, especially in terms of possible future regrowth. I haven't been able to remember things short-term very well for the past few years, but I'm not sure that it's AN related.
21. where was your treatment performed, Drs? Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD by Dr. Tamargo (neurosurgeon) and Dr. Carey (ENT). Very good team.

Well, I had brain surgery a year ago and can't figure out how to fill out this survey (obviously other brain surgery survivors have figured it out, so maybe it's just me). Should I select one of the responses, delete those numbers and fill in my own? Or is there another method?

Thanks!
