Hi Dr. Landolfi;
Here is the next question from the group. First though, I want to pass on the sincere "thanks" expressed by many of the group members for your assistance.
Can a craniotomy cause personality changes in the things one likes or dislikes, i.e. some survivors do not like sweets anymore, and others are unable to ride carnival rides. Is that due to the surgery?
Thank you (as always)
Bruce
The doctor's response...
Unless there is direct damage to the taste or smelling nerves, no not due to surgery. Most likely due to tumor or treatment. Effects of the R frontal lobe from surgery or tumor can change personality and thus, likes and dislikes.
