The questions you'd ask a friend who'd already done it
Will the whole tumour be removed?
The surgeon removes as much as can be taken safely. Tumours near critical areas may be only partly removed to avoid harming speech or movement, with remaining tissue managed by other therapies.
How long is recovery?
Most patients leave hospital within one to two weeks, but full recovery and return to work commonly take several weeks to a few months depending on tumour location.
Will I need further treatment?
Many tumours require radiotherapy, chemotherapy or ongoing monitoring after surgery, decided once the laboratory analysis of the tumour is complete.
