I'm sorry to read about your situation. This must be a difficult time for you.
A Grade 4 brain tumour is a serious condition, but whether radiotherapy and chemotherapy are successful after surgery depends on several factors, including the type of Grade 4 tumour (for example, glioblastoma is the most common Grade 4 brain tumour in adults), how much of the tumour was removed, your overall health and fitness, and the tumour's genetic features which can affect how well treatment works.
Radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments are often given after brain surgery to kill as many remaining tumour cells as possible. These treatments can slow the tumour down, help control symptoms, and may help people live longer.
