Wowza, always glad to see you've survived and are a fighter. To read through your responses to people with your goals and outlook in life.. great to see. I too had a brain tumour (benign) but we didn't know that unless I got it removed.. boy was that a scary decision, but ultimately it was either watch & wait... and see what happens, or get that sucker out.
How'd I come to find it is a whole other story in itself... I fell off a bridge when i was 19 (doing something stupid), got sent home from the hospital that night without any scans done.. completely not cool. But a couple days later went in for scans... we found a 'bright spot' but was assumed to be dried blood of sorts... anyways noone followed up on it with me and I got a "ive got two feet and a heartbeat, if it were to kill me i'd be dead".. well... 9 years later my new badass doctor saw my medical history, i had zero symptoms but on a hunch he said 'lets get you scanned up and updated'.. that bright spot i mentioned? Went from 8mm in size in 2010... 9 years later, it was 28mm. What a nice surprise to find, a brain tumour just lingering. So i got it removed, and thankfully was benign but was gr.2, with signs of mutation. So definitely a good thing it was taken out when it was.
