Hello,

My partner had a seizure last October and was told in December after having MRI scans that he has a low grade glioma, grade 2. We were told in January that it was completely operable and that he will have all of it removed due to its size and accessibility. 
 

we saw the neurosurgeon yesterday and he shocked us a bit because he originally made us believe that after surgery we could resume life and it would not be life threatening. Yesterday he told surgery will enable him to live 10-14 years. We are now in shock because we did not have any idea that even after a successful surgery he will still die eventually. 
 

Can anyone shed any light on it? He is 26, no health issues other than this. Does not smoke or drink. Is the surgeon right? Is it as black and white as 10-14 years? How does the tumour kill yoy even when it's removed completely?
