What are the chances of surviving brain tumor after it has been treated?

Depends: Unfortunately your question is difficult to answer without knowing the kind of brain tumor you had and the extent of the tumor's effects in you brain and whether radiation &/or chemotherapy was used adjunctly. Many tumors can be removed fully and have great prognoses, whereas others may be too malignant and carry an extremely poor prognosis. Hopefully that helps.
