Most all brain biopsies are fairly easy. Very little discomfort afterward. Lots of people that I know have had it done, left the hospital and gone out to eat. This is nothing to b upset about.
I assume he's having a biopsy of a mass or tumor. There are lost of things it could be so don't worry in advance.
If it turns out to be a tumor needing treatment I can send you lots of good sites to read and educate youself with. My husband had a brain tumor removed in 1989 and it was a high grade. He is still alive today. Eighteen years after being told it would return in a year.
Please let me know the results and I will give you all the info and help you need via email.
Good luck.
