Neurologist Questions Brain Tumors

What are the chances of a brain tumor recurring after surgery?

Last year, I underwent a surgery to remove my brain tumor. So far, so good. I'm still recovering but I can already see the difference in how I am acting. But, is there a chance that this tumor could come back in the next few years?

Talk to your neurosurgeon or neurologist. All of the questions depend on what kind of tumor you had. There are benign and malignant brain tumors and many types of each. Can't be more specific without knowing the type.

Good luck.
There is a chance for it to reoccur regardless of it being benign, or malignant. Malignant ones do have a higher chance though-

I wish you luck.
