Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Life expectancy and prognosis depends on type, stage and behaviour of your brain tumour. It is stage 4 cancer so irrespective of type prognosis remains poor. No surgery is possible in this case. Palliative radiotherapy is the only option. And life expectancy is very low despite of treatment.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
