brian tumor surgery, what's best?

Hello,
My best friend, like me had bc, but 10 years ago her daughter had a brain tumor that luckily wasn't cancer, now it's come back. It was near the front so even last time effected some social skills.
They mentioned doing a surgery where the patient remains conscious so that they can tell how things are being effected so as to be able to stop??? Not sure what they're talking about or what is the best solution. We are all in France which may or may not have the most advanced knowledge about this. the daughter was a nurse but had to give it up after first tumor.
I've only heard about cyberknife on this site and I'm not too sure what that means. Naturally I am worried even if it isn't cancerous although a recurrence to me sounds like cancer.
any thoughts, suggestions, what's the best way to proceed???
thanks
hugs
