That you had a tumor?
My dad had a meningioma (benign) and had no symptoms until a seizure To my knowledge I don't have one but lately I've been having headaches on and off....none really painful but just some achey throbbing ones, and some pressure. It's been about 2 weeks. And I might be overreacting but I sometimes have trouble with finding the right word....more than usual for me.....I told my dr but they said if it continues for another week to come back in.... l don't wanna sound like a worrywort but I've heard it's genetic and idk......gah..... sorry this is a kind of dumb post Posted on 07/21/09, 11:07 pm |

So I came back in and he did a neuro exam and nothings wrong except I'm having trouble speaking sometimes and my memory is funny but I guess that can be a nasty side effect of my depakote....I'm scheduled for a MRI on tuesday...wish me luck!

we found out on halloween night my dad had a cat scan done at the local ER because he was sleeping for hours and hours in the afternoon time & when his gf went to wake him he wouldn't wake.
finallt got him up & took him in & that's when they saw the tumor. the sympotoms started earlier in the year and gradually got worse. things like: falling asleep while talking & driving. can't remember what store or town he is in. can't remember when he ate. pressure on back of neck & headache. confusion & disoriented. his was noticably severe & the only reason it took so long to make him go to the doctor was because he had no idea anything was wrong. he wa so tired all the time & he thought it was from " sleep apnea" & even had a sleep test done back in june & they sent him home with an oxy mask to wear at night - didn't help much...obviously not. he has a glioblastoma multiforme the size of an egg sitting on the optic nerve dam smack in the middle of his brain. had a surgery done on november 5th to get a biopsy & try to remove as much as possible....only removed 40%. now on monday ( 5 days ) we are going to start radiation & pill form chemo for one month 5 days a week. no more surgery. sorry for the story.
