Q: What would I see if someone has it?Are there any tell tale signs such as behaviour, memory troubles etc?

A: No one says this disease as Brain cancer.It is called Tumor.A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain. Many different types of brain tumors exist. Some brain tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant). Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary, or metastatic brain tumors). The number of brain tumors diagnosed each year is increasing. There’s evidence the increase has been occurring for decades. But it’s not clear why. The signs and symptoms of a brain tumor vary greatly and depend on the brain tumor’s size, location and rate of growth. General signs and symptoms caused by brain tumors may include: -New onset or change in pattern of headaches -Headaches that gradually become more frequent and more severe -Unexplained nausea or vomiting -Vision problems, such as blurred vision, double vision or loss of peripheral vision -Gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm or a leg -Difficulty with balance -Speech difficulties -Confusion in everyday matters -Personality or behavior changes -Seizures, especially in someone who doesn’t have a history of seizures -Hearing problems -Hormonal (endocrine) disorders –

Q: My friend has these symptoms and I’m so scared thats its brain cancer or something:-A lump at the top of her neck, about where her skull starts.-Frequent nose bleeds.-Frequent headaches.-Bleeding from her ears.She cant go to the doctor because she doesnt have health insurance. Does anyone know what could be going on?? I am so scared for her.

A: I’ve had 2 friends who have had brain cancer. Both had blinding headaches. One had memory & speech problems, and the other one had severe weight loss, and seizures. Neither one had bleeding from the ears.Could your friend have fractured the base of her skull? A basilar skull fracture will show all the symptoms you’ve listed.In any case, she must see a Dr. Bleeding from the ears is not good
