Resection of glioblastoma recovery timeline: what to expect week by week
You can usually fly home 10–14 days after surgery with your surgeon’s approval, after an early MRI, wound check, and neurological stability. Returning to desk work may take 6–13 weeks, depending on your neurological status, job demands, and treatment tolerance. Light walking can start early, while moderate exercise usually resumes after 4–8 weeks once your wound has healed and your surgeon clears you. Recovery and MRI assessment usually take 2–4 months, with timing depending on neurological deficits and your treatment course.
First days
Your team will monitor your neurological function, use an early MRI to assess how much tumor was removed, and support early movement and wound care. You may have moderate headache and incision pain, usually controlled with standard pain medicine. Follow seizure and bleeding precautions, and do not drive.
Weeks 1–4
Gradually increase activity as your wound heals, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity, and do not drive until your team clears you. You may usually fly home 10–14 days after surgery with your surgeon’s approval.
About 4 weeks onwards
Radiotherapy with temozolomide usually starts several weeks after surgery, once your wound has healed. Rehabilitation may be needed, and your activity should follow your neurological status and oncology team’s guidance.
When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic if you have a worsening headache that medicine does not help or an incision that becomes red, swollen, or starts draining. New weakness, confusion, or vision changes need emergency care. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.
