Benign tumors do not spread through the body and cause death on their own.
They can, however, grow larger until the compress and interfere with some function of the body.
So a slow growing benign brain tumor in a good location may not be a problem. If it is growing and pressing on some things it can be a problem.
Location, location location.

Is damage from brain tumors irreversible?
In general, damage to brain cells is often irreversible. This is because the cells in the brain cannot renew themselves or divide to make new cells to replace those damaged cells. However, if the brain tumor is causing damage in terms of negative symptoms (memory loss, change in personality, fatigue, illness) because of intercranial pressure, removing the tumor may in fact reverse the "damage" it created.

The craniotomy removed it, unfortunately there was nerve damage. I cannot open my left eye, which in a way is good, because my eye points all the way to the outer corner. Thank God the tumor was not cancerous.
