Tremor is indeed one of the symptoms of Parkinson’s, but there are many other causes for tremor which affect both hands. These causes can be inherited or acquired.

The location of the tumour in the brain is one of the factors to take into consideration when deciding which treatment is best suited for your father. For some tumours for example those arising from the vestibular nerve, radiosurgery can often be a good treatment option. For tumours arising from other parts of the brain, surgery may be required. There are different surgical methods including minimally invasive surgery or even doing the surgery with the patient awake (awake craniotomy). Other factors that will determine the treatment include the person’s age, comorbidities, and tumour histology.

Doctor, I have pain in a specific point at the back of my head, on the left side. I’ve had a fall before and my x-ray result shows I have nerve impingement in the neck. It was a long time ago. My question is, what is the likely cause of my head pain? Anda what is the medicine?
It is not possible to pinpoint the cause of the headache based on the details provided. If the headache is new, I recommend a new workup for the cause of the pain.
Hello, Doctor. One side of my wife’s face has been numb since 6 months ago. Eventually, her right arms and feet started shaking and were hard to move. What should I do, Doc?

The description in this question is too vague and not answerable.

You should consult a doctor to evaluate your symptoms
