[|Human|] my soninlaw was diagnosed only last Monday after experiencing a seiuzure,his first and only seizure.His symptoms were not severe but present:some loss of balance,left hand numbness and blurred vision. He had no metastasis..the spine was negative   as well as lungs. Initially they called this a glioma ;tonite after his surgery called it angioblastoma not a result of metastasis, primary, very aggressive. It had invaded the brain stem, therefore limiting the surgical removal of the tumor. Tx is radiation and chemo, but they say its incurable and the tx is aimed at increasing his time left. The mother of his 2 daughters ages 13&14 died 10 years ago after a ruptured aneurysm of the brain.Is this tumor the same thing as a glioma? are there no better options? thank you
[|AI|]  HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorThe Glioma itself is tumor and this kind of tumor arises in the brain the surgical removal of such tumor is almost impossible because of the site of lesion, but the progress of lesion can be slow down or ceased with help of chemo and radio therapy, so patient can reach up to the normal and expected life span, lets hope for the good for your son-in-law, have nice day.
