I have had surgery twice to my left pre-frontal cortex for radiation necrosis. I was in the hospital two to three days. After the first surgery I went back to school to teach after one week. I was teaching third grade at the time. I am currently teaching fifth.

I would suggest that you have this surgery ASAP with the best surgeon you can find. The second time I had surgery I was off for a few weeks because of winter break.

The first surgery was the most difficult because I had a 3cm metastatic brain tumor removed and then I had to have stereotactic radiation.

Good luck. Don't wait to have this done. Decadron is is the worst part of the whole ordeal.

Best regards,
Barbara H.
