Not likely...: He was very old, you are young. Brain tumors are relatively rare (unless metastatic from another cancer). There are a VERY FEW instances when screening may be wise--find out the specific diagnosis and let your Dr know. He/she can better advise you on what to do if anything for the specific situation.
