Hello, my aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumor after a bad fall on December 31st. We were advised that surgery would be impossible due to her age and other considerations and she would be unable to undergo chemo, therefore she will be treated solely with steroids. We are not sure about this hence would like to go for a second opinion. She has diabetes also. We are from Kolkata.

Details of the pathology report of the brain tumor and treatment given so far is needed. In brain tumor, the first line treatment is usually surgery. If not possible, then radiation can be given with or without chemotherapy depending upon the histopathology report.

To give opinion about appropriate treatment for your aunt, you need to physically consult an oncologist, show the MRI report and films and then he will be able to give opinion. Along with steroids, depending on tumor location, she might also need anti epilepsy medicines
