How Can A Brain Tumor Be Treated?

my mom was just diagnose with a brain tumor 5cm size of a golf ball according to the nurse. She has been having severe headaches, numbness on her hands not all the time and her eyesight . They did an MRI that s how they diagnose the tumor. We are very scare going online doing research is not helping just making a worst. According to the doctor looking at the MRI- CT Scan it seems that is growing aggressively and also he thinks its been there for 6 months. Im a little confuse according what I have read he is not able to tell when it started until they do the biobsy right?

Hi,

I can understand your problem. If possible please mention the report in detail. There are different kinds of brain tumors and if detected early then the prognosis is good. Meningioma is a common brain tumor and after surgery, the whole tumor can be removed and the recurrence rate is very low.

So please don't get scared, a good neurosurgeon will help in treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi,
