Suggest Treatment For Tumor That Has Broken By Hitting

I have a tumor and i hit my head and it started bleeding about 6 months ago and now i have worse headaches, blurry or no vision at times, lights hurt my eyes leading to more head pain. and I ve just hit my head again and I couldn t see now I m very blurry. Along with that I also hit my lower spine by my butt and a little right of my lower spine roughly. I taste blood in my throat and I m having troubles breathing, but this comes along with the headaches sometimes, especially lately. I also have trouble moving without pain in my head and body. I m thinking of things that don t have any relevance. I also can t feel my hand except pain in my wrist.

Neurologist,  's  Response
I read your question and I am sorry about what you are going through.

Brain tumor treatment usually consists of surgery which is at times combined with chemotherapy or radiation. There are medications which can be used temporarely to lower the edema like corticosteroids but their effect is only temporary, they don't treat the tumor itself, only surgery, chemio and radiotherapy address the tumor itself. The choice of which of those strategies depends on the tumor type, there are many different types so I think you should consult a neurosurgeon as soon as posssible.

I hope to have been of help.
