Hi M ~
I know almost nothing about a lobectomie either.... I'm not even certain what one is.
Last Feb. I had a tumor removed from my left temporal lobe and a small section of the lobe (the parts the tumor rested against) was removed too. Does "lobectomie" mean the entire lobe being removed?

My experience was what could only be described as, surprisingly, easy for brain surgery. My surgery was early on a Tuesday morning and I was sent home on Thursday morning. I had 14 stitches down the side of my face -- well, starting where I part my hair and ending in front of my ear.

Because they also removed a bit of my hippocampus I did have some trouble with short term memory and word finding.

Happily I did not have a single seizure from Feb. until Nov. Now, to try to find out why the seizures have returned I'm returning to the hospital in March for more tests.

I hope I've helped a bit and I hope others join in. I expect dear Porkette to be here soon.

If I can answer more questions, ask away.
