Close followup: Neurological evaluation involves careful history, directed examination, and close followup. All three are necessary to be sure no serious neurological disorder is present. Ct or MRI should be obtained as an extension of the evaluation - not as a stand alone test. Be sure you address these issues with your doctor. You deserve a thorough evaluation and good answers to your questions.

Pretty good: Many brain tumors are relatively asymptomatic until fairly large, so one could easily have one and still have a normal neurological examination at some point in the evolution of the tumor.
