Enlarged brain ventricles

I've found out that I have enlarged brain ventricles. I've not pursued it any further as operating on my brain seems really scary

I would not presume to give medical advice online or elsewhere, since I'm not a doctor, but light research at the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic websites suggests that this condition, left untreated, can cause serious medical issues, greatly impacting quality of life (loss of bladder control, affected gait, balance issues, loss of ability to reason, dementia).

Of course the concept of brain surgery is terrifying, but if that's what your doctor thinks is the best approach, please take their advice. We all want you to live a long and happy life.

FWIW, I've know three people who had brain surgery. They recovered from it fully, although one took a while. (One died from the reason for the brain surgery, as they were unable to remove all of the tumor--but he fully recovered from the surgery that removed most of it.)

Zity is not the right place to ask for medical advice and members will not be allowed to give it. You have got to talk to your doctor if you want that.

Just to add to Amethyst's wise words above. Please do not think we are uncaring about your issue. It is just that zity is not the forum for seeking medical advice. Best wishes for your treatment.
