My aunt suffers a brain tumor ,passed through surgery ,but she doesn't remember us. She can't see with an eye and her tumor is big as a nail and she cries everyday. She can recognise just my cousin ,Julian . Are there any chances that she will get well?

Yes, there are miracles, but don't be too sure... i had a friend whose mother had a brain tumor, and she live though the surgery, removing the tumor, but she did suffer personality loss...

So sorry for the lady. This is a tough situation & I know heart breaking. Where the tumor was is often the biggiest factor & how much swelling was present. She may improve as she heals to some degree. There is an area of the brain that controls the emotions. I know often a stroke will effect that area & they will cry for no apparent reason. They no longer can control their emotions. There should be somebody in the team of people treating her that can explain these things to you. So ask. Not being able to remember has to be so frustrating. Be patient & don't push her. Gently tell her who you are & let it go. Could be embarrassing for her too. Prayers for her & her family. I hope things improve.

My family, nurses and preachers. I've seen both, a tumor is a growth in or on the brain. Where the aneurysm is a vein within the brain that blows and leaks blood into the surrounding tissue. most people die of the aneurysm, which is fast. Standing there talking and they are gone. Of the two take the aneurysm.

it is difficult to predict as to how much she will recover and in what time. But if cared for properly she will definitely show signs of improvement. The thing that can help her the most is to expose her to variety of stimuli. eg. take her for walks ( on wheelchair if she cant walk ). Do not keep her confined to indoors.Talk to her as much as possible. Make her to try remembering things and people by referring to past events. She can be given a stereo or Walkman and some TV too.( these things will provide her with stimulus and spare time for caregiver ) and body massage will help if any of her limb is week.
Again , no one can predict the extent and time of improvement. its a constant effort and journey..... Good luck

Without having access to all your aunt's medical records, there's no way to know this. Your uncle, if he's still living and in the picture, will be the one to have the most current information. I suggest you speak to him about your aunt's prognosis.

So sorry to hear about your aunt. Ask the doctor about the gamma knife procedure. Good luck

There is always a chance. Sometimes it's small, sometimes it's big, but there is always hope.

so sorry to hear that hun. Unfortunately it's impossible to say if she will get well or not. I hope she does though.
