Update on brain tumour worries 2

i have been to the doctor this mornin about a lump above my ear and he said that brain tumours dont tend to hide themselves and i would have more serious symtoms if i had one. 

He also said that he thinks its just chronic migraines or tension headaches and have put me on an antidepressant that helps migraines and stops anxiety because he said i have health anxiety 

but other than that he said im fine and i dont have a brain tumour x

  • Hi Mary, 

    That's great news. It's always scary having unexplained symptoms but I'm glad the doctor has been able to reassure you that what you had wasn't anything sinister or untoward.

    I hope the antidepressant they've prescribed for you helps with your anxiety and migraines and I wish you all the best for the future.

    Kind regards,
