On Thursday 4^th April I underwent an awake craniotomy, brain surgery whist being awake, to ‘de-bulk’ as much the tumour as possible. The neuro-psychologist, Dr Jacki Bambrough, said I was the first patient she has had that was excited at the prospect of being awake during brain surgery. Take a read of the page ‘Brain Surgery’ for my story and the experience of an awake craniotomy.
