The tumour is in the frontal lobe and spreading rather rapidly throughout the brain. They had originally been given 3 months left to live.

Pretty good, the question is not what are the chances someone will die from the tumor, but how to battle and control the tumor to give the patient the longest possible survival chances along with the best quality of life. People with brain tumors can survive for years after being diagnosed and treated. New treatments are being developed every day.
I am just over three months post op from having a brain tumor removed and radiation treatments. I went thru the standard first steps for my tumor type. There are the established treatments and then the clinical trials. Check out both treatment options. Get a second and third opinion. but most importanly get ready to fight. Never give up never surrender

It all depends on the brain tumour and its position in the brain. In fact there are many variables including the above and how your body reacts to different treatments how many treatments etc etc so you really don t know. I myself have a gliblastoma grade 4 which has very a bad prognosis of less than a year however people have been known to survive 10 years plus where as an astrosytoma grade 2 could bring on fatality somewhere down the line as it develops. I m no expert by any means but what I do know is that a brain tumour does not spell certain death.

My favourite uncle died of cancer that started in his brain. By the time he was done, it had spread all through him, lungs, pancreas, colon, stomach. He spent his last year on a self-administered morphine drip. He spent his last month paralytic and almost comatose in a hospital.
Pray that it takes them quickly!

Pretty high! But they can also get hit by a car or die some other way!
