Does anyone else have a brain tumor??? How does it effect you???

Question

Yes I ask alot of silly questions and give a lot of silly answers but I am being serious here.

I have hearing loss with tinutitis in one ear. I also wonder if it has had some personality effects...hard to say because I have had depression/anxiety issues all my life.

Anyway...your experiences???

Answer 1

I've known 2 people who have had brain tumours. One had one which caused him to be deaf in one ear but believe it or not his tumour healed, doctor's dont know why. Another one went through the whole speil of kemo and all the rest of it, lost his hair and he was on steriods which caused him to put on a lot of weight. But again he's ok now. I think years ago those two words together meant "No Chance" but these days, I think more often than not it's curable. Anyway, good luck with that!!!

Answer 2

Well my older cousin had a brain tumor, all his life he has had frequent and bad seizures, but finally the doctor found the problem, the brain tumor was so big and was triggering the seizures. He still has some every now and then, but not a lot or as bad. He was able to get his licenses and a car , and he is doing all the things he couldn't do as a teenager, he is 19, and is finally getting to live a normal life.

Answer 3

My friend had one removed nearly 8 months ago. Her symptoms were headaches, unexplained snappiness and grouchiness. A hard time finding words. Tired. She found out she had it when she woke up to convulsions in the night, or at least her husband woke up, she was out of it. A trip to the hospital, and surgery a few days later, they removed it and now she does the chemo and radiation.....still, even though it was encapsulated. I guess it is just a precaution. She is back to work part time now. Bald just from the ears up, kind of a Bozo the clown look. She wears baseball caps all the time and you can't really tell. She is a very upbeat person and has a lot of people who love her and pray for her. Attitude is everything.

Answer 4

depends on the size and if its malignant or benign. I know someone who had a benign tumor that was the size of a small grapefruit but never knew it existed except for the occasional headache until he went to the doctor and it was discovered. It pretty much depends on each individual tumor...no two are the same

Answer 5

They don't know if it is a tumor or a cyst, right above my pineal gland. Biggest problem I have is intermitent tremors, especially noticable in my hands. Pain in the ***.

Answer 6

By the questions you keep asking I cannot tell if you are actually being funny or serious so I would rather not answer.

Answer 7
