Suggest Complications Of Brain Tumor
My mother in law was diagnosed last year with an inoperable brain tumour, it is not malignant.. Since diagnosis she has had severe mood swings and is now a totally different person, my father in law is finding it hard to cope with and in the last 2 days she has collapsed numerous times, how long is life expectancy usually and is her collapse to do with the tumour?

Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
I read your query and understand your concern
As she is suffering mood disorders she is probably suffering frontal tumor
Patient with brain tumors can suffer from epilepsy but medications can help to avoid seizures
I can be more helpful if you provide the report of brain CT or MRI and current medication
Life expectancy depends from tumor locations and its growth
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
