Your speech and double vision symptoms likely relate to the tumor pressing on nearby nerves or brain areas. It’s common and worth mentioning to your neurosurgeon. These issues support your decision for surgery. Your health and activity level are good signs for recovery. The pre-op physical, blood work, and MRI before surgery are standard steps.

Many choose surgery quickly in cases like this to prevent permanent damage. Waiting risks more nerve damage and harder recovery.

Wishing you great peace of mind and strength in recovery!

Mark I understand - I dont get dizziness thank goodness! My main issue is intermittent nerve pain so thats different. 

Hi there I am def not addicted. This is prescribed TGA approved medical cannabis I only use it when I get nerve pain and that is not every day. I put two drops under my tongue before bed and sleep deeply. I have no side effects nor is it meant to make one high (this is a very low THC full spectrum product with all the terpenes and its the only brand I would use). For me its a useful anti inflammatory that is all. I dont smoke ,dont drink and am not taking anything else thats medication. Its prescribed and I am fully educated on it . I take it also because it wont damage my glymphatic system.   I had very bad neuroinflammation post covid and it helped then also. I am an exceptionally health orientated person who diligently reads in depth on everything from nutrition, sleep, supplements etc.
