Hi everyone, I am 24F and I’ve gone through three brain surgeries so far (I have a fourth coming up). Long story short I was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was 21 and they are treating the tumor as a glioblastoma, although it was unable to be identified by WHO standards. My most recent surgery was to take out a tumor that grew back slightly above the original tumor. I had experienced the left side weakness before, but this time it is way worse than I remember. I’m able to walk but my left arm is very weak and floppy. I was in rehab for a week and was able to recover my walking, but I was told by an OT that my left shoulder is subluxed. I’m wearing a brace on my left wrist because it is floppy and cannot stand up on its own. Just looking for advice I guess or ways that you all have experienced differences in your body after brain surgery and how to recover from them.

I (24F) have had brain cancer since I was 21 and I just found out I have to have a third brain surgery because I had another recurrence. I told my friends about this, but when i mentioned it to my coworkers, who I thought i were close with, nobody reached out or said anything. I’m feeling hurt right now and just need some support from people who understand.
