My mom is 60 and has a brain tumor (57mm) along with a gallbladder stone (12mm). The doctors are suggesting we prioritize the brain tumor surgery first and refusing to operate on the gallbladder due to risks. We're really confused shouldn't the gallbladder stone be taken care of first? What's the best course of action here?

View allMy sister was just diagnosed with a meningioma and we're really worried. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments available? What kind of complications could happen after surgery? We're trying to figure out the best way to handle this is there any chance medications could control it instead of going straight to surgery?
Surgery is often the first line of treatment for meningiomas, but it's not always the only option. Other treatments like radiation therapy, observation, and even medication can be considered, depending on the meningioma's size, location, growth rate, and other factors. After surgery, complications can include seizures, vision problems, difficulty speaking, and more.
