    Are these early signs of brain tumor?

    Hi Gina 12 and thank you for posting

    I am sorry to learn that you are worried about your health. Many people contact us because they are concerned that the symptoms they have might be caused by cancer. We are unable to diagnose you and the best advice we can give is to go and see your doctor. 

    Although this can sometimes seem frightening, in most cases the symptoms will be caused by something else other than a brain tumour But it is always sensible to get any problems you have checked out to be on the safe side. 

    I hope this reply is helpful and you can get an appointment soon.

    If we can help in any other way please do contact us again. If you would prefer to speak to one of the nurses directly, you can telephone us on 0808 800 4040. We are here from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. 

    Take care,

    Jemma
