Does the fear of having a brain tumor outweigh your fear of death? if not, I would go see a doctor.

Whats the point of not going if you’re gonna be all the time thinking about it anyways? Let alone the fact it is always best to find things as soon as possible, even if its nothing important. So……dont think about it, just go! :) Good luck

Decide what you will do if it’s true. If you really do have another tumor, are you just going to sit there? Or will you have it treated again? Decide that now.

Go to the doctor. If it’s a tumor, you know what to do. If it’s not, you will feel 50 lbs lighter when you leave, and can quit worrying about it.

If you feel ANYTHING out of the ordinary for more thn 3 days straight, especially if it causes any sort of pain, it’s just common sense to visit a doc or at least give a doc a call.
