QUESTION: Three Month back one MRI taken,still tumour is their 2.5mm
Doctor is telling be Postive,anything can happen
Good or Worse

Answer
Brain tumours of the type glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 are very difficult to treat and have a bad prognosis. I suppose that you have had surgery, radiation therapy and - as you mention - chemotherapy for it. That the tumor still can be seen on MRI scans after treatment is unfortunately not a good sign.
