I had a brain tumour removed on March 31st 2010, I recovered quite quickly and felt ready for work by November 2011. It took me a year but I finally started work last November. I still have a few problems with my memory and my cognitive ability has decreased considerably but I am happy to be alive and feel very positive about the future.
I have had a lot of help and would like to thank everyone. My friends and family and all the health professionals.
I received great news last week, my latest MRI scan was unchanged with no sign of recurring meningioma and I wont need another MRI until March 2015.

Thats what we liked to hear. Another one of the Headway crew who has been given excellent news and has not let a little setback hold them back. The cognitive side of things should get back to normal within time, we hope.
Congratulations ... I was diagnosed with my menegioma in 2009 and am still recovering. Unfortunately I am not back at work yet but your post really gives me hope, thank you.
You will get there! My diagnosis was late and I was surprised how quickly I recovered. It sounds corny but a positive mental attitude really does help.
hope you are still doing well mikes ghost - given your post was one year ago. It gives us all inspiration just to keep on going whatever our causes and symptoms! Shirley xxx
Thanks Shirley, everything continues to go well for me, I still have a poor short term memory and double vision but compared to most people here I am so very lucky! I'm still working and moving on with my life in a positive manner
