Brain Tumour success rate?!

Question: Brain Tumour success rate?

Hey was just woundering what the success rate for brain tumouur operations were, my father was dignosed for having a large tumour on the top right hand side of the brain. It affected his left side of his whole body and he has no balance at all. I'm obviouslky gonna keep on saying he definately get past it no matter what just like to be a bit prepared for the outcome anyway?

If anyone knows any other specialists or alternatives to operations as well be much appreciated..

Answers:

It really depends on the location, type & size.

Some will have a VERY high rate of success, others will have a very high risk.

Various treatments are surgery, chemotherapy & radiotherapy. The oncologist & brain surgeon will know what the best plan is - trust them, they are the experts. As much as people on here will offer advice & 'statistics' they are the only ones that know your father's history & condition.

Always believe that he will get better - a positive or even a determined outlook can make a difference to the outcome & recovery.

Me...oh...had 18months of chemotherapy...and had a brain haemorrhage...fully recovered from both.

Sweety, I dont know the stats but I will say that I hope your father gets the treatment he needs and that he is cured!

My friend Maryann has a tumor in her brain behind her left eye, and it messes with the left side of her body - she can't have it operated on because it's too risky with her other medical problems, but she continues to live a normal as possible life.

Never give up hope.
Never let your dad give up either.
Good luck!!!
