A member asked:
For what length of time can a person live with a brain tumor before it is discovered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of variables: It depends on the type of tumor, where it is located in the brain, if there is associated swelling or bleeding around the tumor, presence of tumor elsewhere in the body, patient age, etc. Too many variables to be able to answer this.
