Hi, I'll tell you my story so far and i'd like help and guidance on if it is safe for me to have a baby for the first time.
I'm 32 now and 4 years ago i was diagnosed with a low grade 2 glioma in my frontal lobe and following a craniotomy in 2007, 2 weeks later i caught an infection in my frontal lobe bone and it haemoraged causing an abcess. I was rushed into hospital and they removed the frontal obe bone and the infection and i almost dies but im still here. My titanium plate was fitted 6 months later in 2007 and i started to re-build my life. Since 2007 i still had frequent 6 monthly seizures (grand mals) and in May 2011 this year they diagnosed the same tumour, in the same place IT HAD GROWN BACK. I was devastated and still am. They removed the tumour 99% of it 7 weeks ago and i'm back to square one.
Fatigue, tiredness, headaches, rubbish sleep pattern, lack of concentration, forgetfulness and in general my body is slow.
Me and my boyfriend we're trying for a baby when i was diagnosed this year and still want to try for a baby but not sure when it will be safe to try. I am currently taking 750mg keppa per day, 40mg citalopram and 30/500 co-codamol or ibruprofen for pain when headaches creep in.
Any help will be appreciated.
