@mmaryemc, as mentioned you did start a new discussion. I was reviewing your past posts, but didn't see anywhere how old your granddaughter is. How old is she?
This must be so difficult for your family. I'd like to bring others into the conversation who know a bit about what you are going through. @patrassi can share about the surgery her son had and what things were considered to help her and her doctors make the treatment decisions. Also meet @sarahlou, who's son had one surgery, but decided not to have the second surgery that was proposed as an option.

Mary, is it a tumor that they are proposing to remove from her brain or actually a part of her brain?
