I have a right frontal AVM in my cerebro.Mide about 4cm. The first week of July I made two embolizations and a couple of days after one craniotomy to remove it completely.
Before discovering it was a very active person, ran, went to the gym, to kite surfing, ...
I know that each person evolves differently but my question is:
In general, do you usually give many problems an operation located in my area of the brain? Will I continue with my normal life after the operation? How long will I need about recovery?
Thank you very much, helped me a lot with this website.
By the way, greetings from Spain.
I had mine in the right frontal too!! My main deficits are really memory issues. My fine motor is nearly perfect. I also have a slight left limp. Though, I think swimming or biking will hopefully make that disappear with time. We swam a lot in rehab, & it did help. It took me about a full year to recovery, but I had an emergency craniotomy after my AVM burst & various embolization attempts failed. U can message me if you have any more questions. & I speak some Spanish if you want me to make it clearer.
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY, BY LUCK, NOT ME HAS BLEEDING, THE HAVE DETECTED ME BEFORE YOU CAN GIVE MORE PROBLEMS, SO, I THINK IF ALL GOES WELL, WILL I BE VIRTUALLY NORMAL LIFE.
A GREETING FROM MALLORCA (SPAIN).
I had an AVM in the same location and i thank God every single day i live life just the way i did before all this.
There is hope and be positive. God bless
My AVM was in the right frontal lobe also. I had 2 embolizations before having surgery to remove in on March 8th. Mine was a little larger than yours. We found it before it had a chance to bleed. My advice would be to be very patient during your recovery. My doctor told me it would be a long recovery and he was right. Your body will not let you jump out right away to do the things you could do before surgery. I do believe I will one day get back to my regular activity but I am learning to take it easy so my energy can go to healing. But each day that passes I can do a little more. It is baby steps at first. Hang in there. The good thing is getting it out before it has a chance to bleed. We are the blessed ones.
If one of you is inclined to start a subgroup for frontal lobe avms, I encourage you to start one. Just click on "Groups" at the top of the page, then click the "+add" button, then follow the instructions given. Having a subgroup is a great way to share information about your particular type of avm.
Mamaginof3 has started the group -- thank you, Mamagin! I hope all of you will join it: http://www.avmsurvivors.org/group/frontal-lobe-avms
Hi
Can’t access to the site.
Got error message "Access Denied"
Anyone know how to access to his group?
My daughter has a 3cm AVM on right frontal too
I would like to link up with those whose AVM is also at the right frontal lobe.
Hi, Daryl, I’m afraid we lost some links/groups when we changed platforms – sorry about that. I would suggest just bringing a discussion in general discussions, and seeing who responds. I hope your daughter is doing well.
Hi Madere
Sure. No problem
Thanks for replying
Daryl
