A member asked:

Why shouldn't i worry bout a tumor or bleed to the brain after having a mri&ct 5mths ago? i'm scared for this so bad nobody understands my head feels

Head Scans: Don't worry! imaging studies of the brain do not cause bleeding or tumor growth! I am not aware of a single report in the literature of any such association. The more compelling question is why were the studies performed? Did you have an episode of head trauma? Some other reason? If thes matters were put to rest, relax!

Afraid it missed em?: If your question is whether or not a tumor or bleed is there now after having had scans that did not show them 5 mos ago, then the answer is very likely no. A tumor in someone without a known cancer is unlikely to develop without symptoms in that short time. If you are not having symptoms then its very rare to have a bleed or a tumor that would show up on scans. Talk to md about managing anxiety.
