Biopsy Vs Awake Crainiotomy

Subject: biopsy vs awake crainiotomy
Date: 04/14/2008

hello,

I am new to this site and am really appreciating the advice and support people are giving one another. i am looking for some guidance on making a very big decision. i was diagnosed (throuh mri's) with a tumor on my left frontal lobe. after getting several opinions, i am left to make the decision alone of waiting and watching, biospy, or awake crain. the awake surgery is because of the tumors location. it is believed to be either an oglio or astrocytoma. i know there are pros and cons to both. currently, my symptoms are all but gone, yet i know the tumor isnt very likely gone, on the 18th of march i had my second mri it was the same size. its pretty large and all cannot be removed, yet it appears to be a slower growing tumor. if anyone out there has had both procedures, i would love to hear from you. i'm concerned if i have the surgery i wont be as functional as i am right now, but if i dont i might be losing time to fight this thing.

 thank you for reading this.
