A member asked:

Help fast, i seriously think i might have a brain tumor. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusion,: Dizziness, memory loss, slurred speech, loss of balance, weakness on one side of the body, seizures or blurred or double vision could signal a stroke or brain tumor, so always demand prompt medical action in those circumstances. Isolated headache is rarely caused by brain tumors.

How fast can an aggressive brain tumor grow? I know I am crazy but any input greatly appreciated. Was having headaches--had a negative MRI 93 days ago. Headaches again. It is not possible for a tumor to grow that fast and cause symptoms correct?
