A member asked:
Has anyone who lived a long time with brain cancer or tumors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Highly malignant primary brain tumors are bad actors and usually cause death within 12-18 months. Some tumors are not malignant and may not be causing symptoms and can be observed while others can be removed with a good chance of long term survival. The behavior and type of each individual tumor is the determining factor.
