Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 15 year old who has the similar situation. I started getting numb on my ear, then the next day my face, and by night, my entire body. A doctor said it was either Bells Palsy or Lyme, but Lyme came back negative. So BP it was. Well, I started not being able to sleep and intense headaches started occurring. I went to a Neurologist and had a few tests done to check for other issues, they came back normal.

Avatar n tn An astrocytoma is not a pineal cyst at all - that is a low grade (grade 1) brain tumor so it just happened to be located by the pineal gland. This is from a brain tumor site: "Astrocytomas are tumors that arise from astrocytes—star-shaped cells that make up the “glue-like” or supportive tissue of the brain. These tumors are “graded” on a scale from I to IV based on how normal or abnormal the cells look. There are low-grade astrocytomas and high-grade astrocytomas.
Avatar f tn A dear friend of mine, who is in very poor condition and cannot have an operation, started with a tumor in his brain that was discovered about six months ago, and then a few months later, a tumor formed in one lung, and then an MRI done last week shows another one has formed in the other lung. They have not done biopsies, I am thinking they took a wait-and-see stance when they found the brain tumor, since he is too weak for an operation.
Avatar f tn - If this tumor on the optic nerve, is it can be seen by the MRI? and is it can be considered as a brain tumor? - What that kind of a brain tumor that causes to him such blindness? - What is the way of treatment to remove that tumor? surgery, radiation or chemotherapy? - If surgery is the way of treatment, how will it be done, through the eye or in the brain itself? - If the surgery in the brain, from which side the open will be, front, back or other? - How succsseful is that operation?
Avatar f tn s brain tumor first showed. She had an operation to remove it 10 years ago. She is feeling fine. Please don't let your family ignore this symptom even though it scares them. It scared us too. It is scary but can be treated.

Avatar f tn Hi, good evening; I am sorry for my sister. She is suffering from pit gland tumor and had not receive any medication yet. She is 46 years old, single and a teacher who have a great passion and love for children. I don't know how to help her but grateful to have this chance to tell other people how we loved her. We are helpless though due to poverty here in our country and the lack of support from our government thru it's agency who can provide any healthcare assistance.
Avatar f tn It should be understood that while the target of the surgery is to remove the tumor, some normal brain tissues surrounding the tumor may have also been removed or affected during the surgery. Your sister's present symptoms may represent what is called a 'frontal lobe syndrome'. This syndrome manifests with personality changes, severe mood swings and sometimes be mistaken as a psychiatric condition (such as that of hallucinations).

Avatar n tn For the main tumor in contention, which is the one inside the brain, it will be very hard to assess or perform an operation in this area and I understand the hesitance of some doctors. However, this should be monitored regularly to find any signs of enlarging or compression of some structures. I suggest that you discuss with the doctors regarding a possible biopsy of the other tumors. Regards and God bless.
Avatar n tn Have been anemic and my doctor test me often,I continue with my vitamins and extra iron but still bruising is getting worse! other than a bening brain tumor I had removed in 2003 ive been healthy. Recently my blood test did come back with something wierd about my red blood cells but the doctor was unsure what to do. I lost my heath insurance shortly after my tumor operation so its hard for me to see a hemotologist. Any suggestions i could pass along to my primary would be greatly appriciated.
Avatar f tn I ALSO SUGGEST THAT YOU GO TO A PITUITARY BRAIN TUMOR SPECIALIST. THEY ARE USUALLY IN LARGE CITIES AT TEACHING HOSPITALS. UNIV OF CALIFORNIA IRVINE HAS A SUPERIOR PITUITARY TUMOR PROGRAM AS WELL AS ANOTHER UNIV OF CALIFORNIA CAMPUS. I ALSO BELIEVE THERE IS A HOSPITAL IN PHILADELPHIA, USA. TYPE IN PITUITARY BRAIN TUMOR SPECIALIST OR CENTER WITH YOUR CITY AND STATE INTO A INTERNET ARCH BOX AND SEE WHAT COMES UP... DO NOT GO ANYWHERE WHERE THEY DONT SEE PEOPLE ALL DAY LONG EVERYDAY ONLY!
