At the beginning

Hi I had a tumour removed 3 days ago from the front lobe of my brain. Waiting for test results could be 1-2 weeks how do you cope with that. 

  • Hello Yaf

    I'm sorry to hear that you've undergone surgery to remove a tumour from the front lobe of your brain. I hope that the surgery went smoothly and that you're recovering well.
