Best wishes for a great recovery. I would not call any brain surgery minor. My son had 3 over 10 years. For sure brain surgery has come a long long way over the years.Mark

I'm shocked that he had such a traumatic and short notice diagnosis and surgery and wishing the best for his recovery. Green tea extract is a great preventative from what I have heard from others too.1
