What if the treatments don’t work?
Sometimes it is too late when the patient gets the brain tumor diagnosed. With limited chances of recovery, the doctors refuse or don’t perform any treatment, but prescribe medicines in order to control the problems caused by the brain tumor such as headaches, seizures, hearing and vision impairment etc.
Recovery from brain tumors is a slow process, which require proper care and monitoring throughout the phase.
