  • What is the best treatment option for a brain tumor?

  • Blurry vision and headache after brain surgery?

    If these symptoms were not present before surgery, it stands to reason that the new symptoms could be related to the surgery. A thorough exam to assess the vision is important, and this is something that should be discussed with your friend's surgeon. READ MORE

You should follow up with your surgeon if you have concerns, as he would know the details of your situation. READ MORE
