What Medication Is Suggested For Grade 3 Brain Tumor?

Hello, my son is 37 years of age and just got out of surgery today. He has a brain tumor. They took most of it out but some is still there. They have only gotten a partial report back from the pathology report saying it is a Grade 3 tumor and that he will have to have treatments. They have not gotten the full report back yet. My question is, how long can someone live with this type and grade tumor. right now it has affected his memory skills and a little of his sight.

Hello,

A person with such type of tumor may live for more than 15 years. Anyway, it depends on his body reaction to the chemotherapy and radiotherapy and the type of tumor cells.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
