Can't speak for anyone else, but I've had two brain surgeries for tumors. It ain't fun, and rehab is long--but overall brain surgery is not as unpleasant as many others, for the simple reason that the brain has no pain receptors.
Nonetheless, it isn't anything I wish on anyone. The OP has my very best thoughts, and can email me for support or other related conversation--handle at att dot net.
