I have non cancerous brain tumor for 2 years having side effects, of numerous, problems. right side of face, pins and needles, also head pins and needles, weakness down left side. right eye painful, and sometimes blurred vision. I cannot say to my Doctor as she always says there is nothing wrong, with you rest or it's stress. so no use to say anything, I feel so nauseated.also had lots of Seizures, from this, as pseudo, they refuse to listen. so unwell, what can I do.

i lost one of my dear one due to brain tumour...that ws on lft side of brain...he lost his memory.after surgery we lost him due to major heart attack..doctors said that the reason of attack was surgery ....they said that one blood clot came towards his heart ....is it possible that clot can remain in patient,s body after surgery?

I have been noticing certain changes in my behaviour n manners most of the factors mentioned above seem to be noticable in me....

my son had a non-cancer tumor [the best boat to be in] but he had the worst recovery from the surgery- he was left handed and had to become right handed he went to a infant sage after the surgery and i had to help him recover doing everything for him, he had lots of balance issues but no speach problems (gratefully)- he couldnt go up-down stairs and had 3 months of bed recovery and 3 months physical theraly for walking again. no-one really really understands what we went through and he seems to be good outside but other things have happened since the surgery....he is tired allt he time and i cant figure this out he si just 18 and goes to bed early and wakes up at a decent hour...he has not had a seziure but he has tremours (when it happens he looks like a parkensions*(sp?) patient -his head shakes uncontrolably) his personality is just off and not like he use to be uncontrolable anger sometimes....and sometimes he is normal...diferant days bring diferant things is seems and i dont know what to make of this. i feel for him cause i know this has actually taken a few years off of his life and he is playing catch-up with time but i am having a hard time finding any research on this type of tumor because its not life threatning but its serious to us....dealing with all the aftermath and finding others going through the same things has been hard. The only people i have talked to that can relate are people that say they know someone who has had a stroke....glad you guys are here you've helped me a lot! God Bless!!

Hi everyone, I am 40 years old. I had a brain tumor [meningeom] removed from the left side (front) of my head three years ago. It took me some time to recover from the common side effects after surgery. I was happy and everyone rejoice with me on my improvement. My physical appearance looks o.k but I suffer inside and some people hardly believe me. Sometimes they feel I am lazy. I still experience tiredness, imbalance (weak legs)and headache. I am a single mother of two children. Presently, I am not working because I cannot see myself coping with the care of the kids and work. I have done series of neurological tests incl. MRT and CT. Everything is normal. My doc. says my feelings are psychological.I am confused. Is he right? What do I do to overcome these? Please advise me.

Please DO tell your parents. Worrying is a parents job! no matter if you are healthy or ill. They might have the answers you are looking for since they were there when you the first operation, Im sure they were told of signs to look for. If they dont know they answers Im sure they will help you get them. PLEASE PLEASE talk to them. best of luck.

The brain cancer symptoms tend to be the same as other illnesses. Many times, the symptoms don't immediately raise flags that alert a physician to diagnose a brain tumor. The most primary brain tumors are considered rare, although the rate of incidents is increasing. Due to the fact many of the symptoms are generalized and mirror other illnesses. The physicians or the health experts often don't evaluate patients right off the bat for brain tumors. Physicians generally rule out other, less serious conditions initially. The brain cancer symptoms depend on their size and location in the brain. http://www.biblehealth.com/
