Hello and thank you for posting. I am sorry to hear about your brother and his diagnosis.
As I am not part of your brother's team it is difficult to give too much detail on this very rare and unusual type of cancer.
This type of brain tumour is more commonly known and treated as a granular cell astrocytoma (GCA) , so it may be that your brother has surgery but his doctors will decide what treatment they feel is best in his situation.
This must be very difficult for you and your family, so do encourage them to use all support available.
Take care, and if you would like to talk things through with one of the nurses on the helpline the number is freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open mon-fri 9-5.
