      It depends on the kind of tumour, and at what stage it was detected. For a malignant tumour, the average survival is around less than 5 years, but some are curable, and treatment can extend lifespan by many years.

      I happen to have a brain surgeon sitting opposite me – so he is giving me these facts!
