My husband was told he has a tumor in the right cerebellum its about 2cm. Was told to come back in 6months for another brain scan, told to eat right and walk and exercise. which he does not do. Anyone else feel he needs a 2nd opinion?

definitely I’d get a second opinion ! It’s on cerebellum and can impact movement speech .

Hi, I have to say I am a little confused over your situation. If the tumour is benign then time could be on your side. If it’s malignant then you don’t want to be hanging around for 6 months ( so that’s when a 2nd opinion would be useful). Let me tell you that before I was diagnosed my lifestyle wasn’t good. Beer, heavy smoker, and bad diet. I’ve made all the necessary changes, and feel better both within and about myself, I don’t understand why he won’t take on board the advice he’s been given. It will only help in the long run. To answer your question, you really do need to find out what sort of tumour he has. Once that is done a road to recovery can be mapped out for him. Good luck, and best wishes. James.
