“How long does it take to recover from a brain tumor?”
My 4 year old son had a brain tumor removed 2 months ago. How long does it take to recover from a brain tumor?

Children brains can form new connections as they heal. With time, many months to years, a child can often recover neurological functions in the area where the tumor was extracted. Thank you.
Every patient's recovery time is different, and the young usually recover faster than older patients.

You should speak with his Neurologist regarding physical recovery time. If the surgery affected his speech, language, or swallowing, he should be seeing a Speech Pathologist for therapy to ensure optimal, timely success. It completely depends on what part of the brain was affected, if any. Best of luck!
About 4-12 weeks. Consult Functional Medicine to optimize his innate healing and repair systems.
