Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query.
First of all is necessary to understand correctly if the left hand tremors are caused by the brain tumor or surgery, because there are a number of other conditions that may cause such issues.
Other conditions include thyroid dysfunction, anxiety, certain drugs adverse effects, etc.
Treatment possibilities include treatment of the underlying cause, beta blockers ( propranolol, etc.), antiseizure drugs, drugs used to treat Parkinson's, deep brain stimulation, etc.
Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for the additional info.
Besides the physical therapy that should be continued, Keppra should help to a certain degree with the tremor.
If not then beta-blockers may be considered as a possibility for symptom control.
Hope I helped you.
Take care.
