I cant speak now!!!!!!!

I'm bring treated for brain lesions. I had radiosurgery on Wednesday. Friday morning I could not
pronounce words, I knew what everything was but could not get the wods out. It was frightening. My husband brought me into oncology, the doctors had left for the weekend, the nurses did not know what to do. I went home and took a steroid, slept all night and am much improved today. Has anyone else had this happen? Please help if you can.
