Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The brain is an important organ concerning maintaining balance and posture. It is possible that even after lesion removal, effects are persisting on the balance mechanism. The balance in human is carried by the cerebellum at the back of the brain and the inner ear which contains the vestibular apparatus. Also there are nerves arising from the brain stem that supplies these areas and integrates the information and maintains a body posture that helps in balance. Due to your cancer lesion surgery with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, if received in the head region, the nerves might have got damaged temporarily and it might take sometime to get back to normal. Your doctor will give you medications that help in nerve regeneration. Wish you quick recovery. Please do not worry.
