Brad252 807 Posted November 15 By coincidence a former colleague of mine had a benign brain tumour removed last year. She was severely crippled by the operation, to the point of being unable to walk or speak for several months and only slowly started getting movement back with assistance. She died last month, a year after the operation, although it sounds like it was still unexpected, so must have been an unforeseen complication. While no two cases will ever be the same, even being cleared of a brain tumour can still have a poor prognosis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
