My dad is 55 and his MRI scan shows a brain tumor. The doctor recommended surgery and wants him admitted by Monday for quick treatment. Is surgery really necessary in this case? I'm worried and would like a second opinion from a neurosurgeon on whether this is the best option.

My doctor recommended spine surgery but it's too expensive for us to afford right now I heard about schemes like NTR health seva that might help cover the costs but I'm not sure how they work or if they apply to this situation Could someone guide me on what options might be available for financial assistance with spinal procedures
If your spine surgery is recommended and deemed medically necessary but is too expensive, you could explore government schemes like NTR Vaidya Seva in Andhra Pradesh, or other similar initiatives in Maharashtra if applicable. These schemes can provide financial assistance or even cover the entire cost of certain procedures, but eligibility criteria and the specific procedures covered may vary

I've had a headache and blurry vision for the past 6 months so I consulted a physician who recommended a CT scan. The CT showed prominent ventricles and suggested an MRI. The MRI results came back as meningioma and 5th nerve schwannoma. Could you explain what treatment options are available for this - can it be managed with medication or will surgery be necessary
neurosx opinion is advised to the pt.
