Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I must admit you have provided limited information. However, your aunt seems to have a malignant (cancer) tumor of brain. The treatment is mainly with radiation therapy and chemotherapy (medications). As her doctor has suggested, long term survival is not common with cancers of brain. However, I would advise you to discuss these issues with her treating doctor. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
