I am glad you found this site. Lots of great people are here. I am sorry you had to go through having a brain tumor. Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor. There will also be people here who may be able to offer some advice. Be good to yourself, you have been through a trauma, and that takes some time to heal from just by itself. I do understand not liking hospitals very much. I cried weeks before my surgery, because I didn't want to go through it all. I came to this site for help, and I did find it. ginnie
