Awake craniotomy

Hi all I haven’t been diagnosed as of yet they are unsure of what the lesion in my brain is I have an awake craniotomy in three weeks for biopsy and debulking I wil be awake because it’s in left temporal lobe I’m nervous about what they will find and about what will happen after surgery 

  • Hi Moody-marie,

    I hope this information we have about an awake craniotomy and the Braintrust's more detailed guide about having this procedure will give you an idea of what to expect during and after surgery but as Moderators Ben and Jenn have said, our team of very insightful and friendly cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 if you'd like to discuss any of this further. If calling isn't an option then you can make a post about this in their section of the forum called ask the nurses instead. Our nurses will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    I know the next 3 weeks are going to be tough but we are here for you, and sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
