Answer 1

My cousin had a brain tumor when he was around 6. Being that young, he couldn't exactly expain how he felt. He complained a lot about headaches and I know that's a big sign. His vision was bothering him. If anyone is getting unusual headaches that are not going away, seek medical attention ASAP and don't let your Dr. say "Oh, it's just stress or maybe migraines." If you feel that it's not normal, insist on a CAT scan and if he won't okay it, see another doctor! Trust your insticts always. No one knows your body better than yourself, right? Look up symptoms of brain tumors on the internet for more info. and like I said, if you or a loved one suspects something isn't right, GET HELP ASAP! With brain tumors, a day can mean the difference between life and death. If my poor cousin had waited another day, they said at Mayo, he would've died! I hope I didn't scare you but just made you aware that this is very serious!
