My cousin is havin brain surgery relief?
will the brain surgery kill her. she have it in 2 months.
Answers:
Much depends on what type of brain tumor she have, location of the lesion, whether there are more than one, your cousins overall form and age. Many people enjoy brain surgery done successfully. But again, it depends . . . No one here can answer about her probability for survival, since there are too masses factors.
However, hang on to in mind that Lance Armstrong have two metastatic brain tumors and had surgery that removed them. That be ten years ago.

any surgury can kill but next it can also make her live, its a crapshoot near that calling.
I'd say if she is have it, she is probably better off the NOT have it, so who ever dicided on her surgury KNOWS what best for her.
No. Shouldn't kill her. I have a brain aneurysm clipped last year.
What is she have done?
Work on the brain is delicate, and retrieval is long, can be hard.
Doctors wouldn't carry out a surgery that they thought would kill her. There are other risks with surgery, but I'm sure the benefits outweight the risks surrounded by a situation like that.
My husband have brain surgery twice to remove brain tumors. Any surgery can kill you. Not purely brain surgery. She can also be different after the surgery as far as her sense of self and maybe some effects. Ask the doctor what his thoughts are on the surgery she is have done.No one knows how brain surgery will dance until it is over. Wishing your cousin the best for her surgery.
