AVM diagnosis hit me like a 10 ton bus... Literally

Sorry to hear about your AVM, Josh. I was given a similar diagnosis in 2023 - a 5cm grade 1 AVM in the right frontal lobe. I had resection surgery two months later. I was told that right frontal lobe is one of the “better” places to have an AVM.

Two years later and I’m cured and doing well. It no longer plays any role in my life outside of responding to the occasional forum post. You can see more of my post surgery experience in my post here. Your AVM was discovered before rupturing, and is of similar grade and placement, so hopefully you’ll have a similar outcome.

Trust your surgeons judgement, the brain is such an intricate area that your surgery may not be directly comparable to other AVM surgery experiences that you read about.

Happy to answer any other questions you have on the surgery or otherwise :slight_smile:. Wishing you the best.
