Hi

Just had this diagnosed and I was referred in May to the neurosurgeon to review me. Having looked into the condition it states that the preferred treatment is to have a shunt put in but it also states the sooner the better practically!

If you have this condition how long was it before you were diagnosed & have you had a shunt put in.

My anxiety levels are rising as you can see it’s one more thing my brain is having to cope with beside a tumour & cvst !
