I had a brain tumour removed three weeks ago on my left side and wanted to know if it’s ok to sleep back on that side again? TIA.

Scar is healing fine and I’m recovering really well, just miss sleep on my left side.

Hi - when my right-sided tumour was removed I was told I could sleep however I felt comfortable, and not worry about which side I slept on.

It took until the scar healed before I could sleep on my right side, but by 3-4 weeks I was sleeping on both sides.

I did get a memory-foam firmer pillow which I still use.

Cheers Andy, the memory foam pillow also sounds like a great shout.

I’m back sleeping on my left side and I also had a crani on the left side 3 weeks ago. Still sore though. Is yours?
