Question
My wife just had a CT scan and it detected that she is having a tumor which is 3 months old. Can it be removed and can she start living her normal life again.

Answer
To be able to answer your question I do need to know: 1. How big is her tumor? 2. Where in her brain is it located? 3. What KIND of brain tumor is it believed to be and if possible what GRADE does it have? 4. If possible let me read her full CT scan report (copy it here)! 5. Has any MRI scan been ordered? If so please let me read that too! 6. Has any biopsy of her tumor been considered? If possible give me any such report too!
