right now, only surgery seems to be the option used to treat brain tumours and only complete removal cures the problem,

but now there is hope with new drugs to shrink and eradicate the surgery,

I know if I had a brain tumour, I would love to have a drug to get rid of it before I had surgery, I believe anything can go wrong with surgery. I doctor can slip with his hand and either kill you or make you a vegetable for life,

would you consider drugs first, or would you be afraid to try the drugs in case you might die anyhow and go right away to the surgery?

I would definitely consider the drug before having surgery. We wouldn't have to deal with the scars or the pain before healing. My poor body cannot stand to take any more surgeries or scarring. I do not like to take pills but if I could avoid surgery, then I would do it. It may be cheaper also.
