Gp says no mri as ct was clear with no signs of tumors, normal neuro exam, still so scared i have a tumor how can i stop worrying, is my doctor right?

It depeneds: There is no good solution for worry. You have to be under the care of a doctor you can trust. To begin with the doctor can do some simple tests and assure you that you are cancer free. It does not have to be ct scans and mris unless you have any specific symptoms indicating something is wrong. A brain ct is a good test and can rule out a brain tumor. Mri is not indicated unless you have symptoms.
