Dear lybrate-user I can understand your concern about your mother. She has brain tumour which has re-occured after surgery. Options now are reoperation if feasible without causing extensive brain damage radiotherapy to brain for 5 weeks if it is high grade (fast growing) than chemotherapy (ORAL CHEMO DRUGS) is also required to given along with radiotherapy.
