Serious question here.

Does anybody know anything about brain tumors?  Know anybody who has had one?  What were/are the symptoms?  Any info anybody has would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

    Get checked out with your doctor. Reading stuff online is just going to scare the mess out of you. I had one removed about 15 years ago & am fine. I was getting dizzy & blacking out once in a while. I just felt off. My brother in law was diagnosed after a car accident here he fell off the car to pavement showed something in a test. They prepared for the worse & we all lost a LOT of sleep over it only to fine out that the test was faulty & he was fine.

    I think its different for everyone.

    I agree that education is wonderful, but there is no need to worry about something that isn’t there. The peace of mind of knowing one way or the other is worth the doctor’s visit. Plus you will need to get treatment as soon as possible.

    Good luck.

    Its scary, but its not a death sentence.

    Hang in there.

    My mother had one about 30 years ago. Her eye doctor found it! She had had headaches, migraines were diagnosed but hers was fine. They took it out and she was good. In the old days, you rarely heard of it but it’s mentioned alot more these days. (or maybe with communication efforts, you just know of it more)I know several people that have had them and each case is different. Honest though, if you read anything online you’ll convince yourself of horrible things. Lots of symptoms can mean so many different things when you’re dealing with those kinds of issues. High blood pressure, allergies, eye strain, stress, hormones..all of these things can give bad headaches so that’s not necessarily reason for alarm. Good luck.
