▲ 8 r/braintumor
Diagnosed with a low grade glioma
As the title says doctors just discovered a 1.5-2in glioma in my right temporal lobe, its about an inch deep right above my ear. Ive never experienced any symptoms, no seizures, no loss of motor skills, no emotional mismatch, no vision changes nothing.
I asked the doctors a million questions but im still confused. I have millions of questions as would anyone with a brain tumor, although my most pertinent question is: Why haven't I experienced any changes even though a good portion of my brain is missing. I would expect at least an occasional migraine.
Another question I have is why is everyone treating me like its contagious, a lot of my coworkers seem to avoid me now after revealing my diagnosis.
Its all just so confusing and devastating.
