I know a young guy that's had a tumor in an inoperable area for years. He's monitored, but that's about it. I had my tumor growing for many years without realizing my small problems were symptoms of the tumor growing. Def. grew longer than 4-5 years. Everyone is different.Individual difference are there....
Brain cancer is of 2 types: (1) Primary - arising from the brain tissue/cells itself. (2) Secondary (or metastatic) - The cancer arises in some other organ, e.g. lung, breast, etc and spreads to brain.
If your question is about primary brain cancer, then the survival is usually less than a year in most cases. However, it does depend on the grade of the tumor. For high grade tumor (aggressive type), the statement above is true. For low or intermediate grade (less aggressive), it may linger on for a couple of years or more.
For secondary cancers, it depends on how aggressive the primary site is, but still it is dismal (<1 year in most cases).
Hope this helps.
The life expectancy for an individual diagnosed with brain cancer can vary significantly and depends on various factors, including the type and stage of the cancer, the age and overall health of the patient, and the effectiveness of treatment. Some forms of brain cancer, such as glioblastoma multiforme, are particularly aggressive and have a relatively short life expectancy, often measured in months to a few years. However, other less aggressive types of brain tumors can have a more favorable prognosis, with some patients living for many years with proper treatment and care.
Advances in medical treatments, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, have improved the outlook for some brain cancer patients, allowing for extended survival and an improved quality of life. It's crucial for individuals facing a brain cancer diagnosis to consult with medical professionals to understand their specific situation and explore the most appropriate treatment options.
good luk to the both of you :D
