Hello I’m new

NellyMaggie

Hi everybody, I’m new in scope I really don’t know how it works. Four months ago I had a seizure at work, I’m a chef, than I went to the hospital and in there I had another seizure, much bigger than the first, they made a CT scan that show’s a very big brain tumor. A meningioma grade II after the seizures I was paralysed off my ride arma and leg. I had to take steroids and some drugs for the pain and the seizures. Eight  days later I had my surgery, at the 5th off June. Unfortunately on the last MRI that I made, it shows that the tumour it’s back. Now is in the middle of my head. I’m waiting for the doctors to tell me what we are going to do next. I think next week they are calling me. I’m afraid I have to find another job, because working as a chef is very hard, I’m not making a lot off hours, but even so. I’m glad I found scope and have people who can understand me. I talk to Macmillan as well, wen I saw the tumour again I felt so angry, sad, and disappointment. It’s like my all live is going backwards  again. Now I’m feeling very tired, the pain on the leg it’s back again. The buzzing on the ears and the pain on the head it’s also back. It’s nice to relive my pain. I think I will need psychology help, because I’m felling very depressed and sad. I wish the best for all off us. 

God Bless as all

Take care 😘

Hi, thank you so much for replying my post, it’s very nice to now that we have some friends to talk with. Thank you for the links I will take a look. Thank you so much for the support, I just get so upset wen I saw the tumour again. Sometimes we just need to let of steam to be a little more relieve. I’m already Taking some depression pills, it was a big shock wen I saw the MRI it was to soon, for the tumour appears again. 

But I believe that everything is going to be ok!  

Once again thank you so much you are very kind. 

I can share some easy recipes that I know. And wen’s possible I can do some charity work as hell. 

Have a nice weekend 
All the best 🙂

Hi

Nice to meet you.

I know youre not asking, but ,i would try ,if you can ,to rest yourself.!   Im no expert whatsoever concerning brain tumours,but know a few people that have had them.
Is there anyway you can not think about work at this time??(easier said that done)  Rest up ,or still do things.(under guidance by your Dr.) but the stress of work may not be beneficial at this time?...you obviously would be entitled to some kind of financial help surely..at least until you know what the Drs plan of action is.

Hi 

Nice to meet you too chobbly

Thank you so much for your concern. The doctor said that I have to rest, but I also have to keep myself busy and occupied. And honestly, I need to work, I have bills and a daughter. I already talked with an assistant on scope and I’m going to try to work from home. Something that doesn’t evolve to much stress. But iff necessary, I will stop working and find some financial help. 

☺️☺️
