How to remove clot from brain - #12014

Aasha

I am really worried right now. A few weeks ago, my uncle started having these horrible headaches, and his balance was off, plus he was really confused sometimes. He never gets headaches, like, ever! We thought it was just stress until he collapsed at home last week. Long story short, he was rushed to the hospital, and they did a CT scan which showed he has a clot in his brain! The doctors say they need to act fast, and I'm just loseing my mind here. I keep thinking, how to remove clot from brain? Like, what options do they have? They mentioned medication to dissolve it and maybe even surgery, but what does that really mean? I wanna make sure he has the best care. I can’t help but think, is there any risk involved with these treatments? Also, after treatment, how long does recovery usually take? I mean, will he be able to walk and talk like he used to? I just feel so helpless and don’t know what to ask, or what this actually means for him. How to remove clot from brain in the safest way possible? Any advice would help!
