A member asked:
How long after a benign brain tumor is removed could someone play sports again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are multiple factors involved- what sport? What type of tumor? How large was the tumor? What part of the brain was the tumor? There is much information needed to answer the question. Talk to your neurosurgeon who will have all your answers to help you.
