A member asked:

Could you tell me what happens if you leave a benign tumor in your brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Grows: How do you know it's benign? At your age, it's likely to grow, so when it does begin to cause symptoms it will likely be larger and therefore possibly more complicated to deal with.
