Hi Dash67

I also had a couple of tumours in my brain after 3 years. I had stereotactic surgery and an operation on one side of my brain. Since last year the op. Had a good result and the other side any swelling has practically gone. Do you know the size of the tumour? Look at my posts there may be something that may help you or send me a question. Id be happy to help if I can.

Best wishes

Hoggy
