I found out yesterday that I have to have another Brain surgery.I had my 1st Sept 24th 2009.I’m really scared this time because I have had 2 strokes with the last surgery.The Dr. said it’s almost guarenteed I will have another.Oh boy what news.
Oh Lori, I am sorry you have to go through this again. Stay positive, I know it is hard. Let us know when you have your date scheduled. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Lori,
I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Did they find another one or do they have to fix the 1st surgery? The Dr. will always prepare you for the worst. Try to stay positive, I know it is a very hard thing to do. I was scared the second surgery, its turning the fear into positive thoughts the hardest part. We are here for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless

Thank you Ken.The Dr.had put 2 stents in on the left side lastJuly.He could’nt coil because the vein was shaped wrong.Now the stents have an Aneurysm. t he right side is where they clipped.

Lori,
Have you had a second opinion? Or has your CT angiogram read by another doctor? Would you consider it? Perhaps an Interventional Radiologist?
Please understand that I am not saying your NS is wrong, but sometimes a new set of eyes will have a different way of looking at your aneurysm.
What area of the world are you from? Perhaps someone here could recommend a NS or an IR?

Lori,
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know it’s easier said than done, but please, please, please stay positive. I’ve had two surgeries and I know that our minds go a mile a minute full of 'what if’s" - I was very happy to hear how you trust your doctor. Please remember to ask questions…there are no silly ones. Do you have family around to help you during this difficult time? Please keep us posted and write with any questions…anytime.

omg why is the dr being so negative and trying to worry the crap out of you…your already high anxiety from having to have the addtl surgery…are you a smoker? i would get another dr that is not so morbid sounding and can give you a gleam of hope that things WILL turn out ok and to keep your chin up…good luck to you sweet lady and think positive and ask for Gods intervention to make this dr wrong , to keep your heart strong and steadfast in this surgery…make it thru with no problems…it can happen…miracles happen everyday,im one of them…we all are on this site because we are survivors…your gonna be fine… God bless and prayers coming your way:)
Hey this is an old post! How about starting a new one?
