I also have a brain tumor, was discovered when I was in the first grade. The teacher thought I was having issues reading/squinting so they sent me in to get glasses. During the visual field test they realized I was completely blind in my right eye. I at the time never noticed or new a difference as I was 6 and thats how I always viewed the world, through one eye apparently. After an MRI they discovered I have a brain tumor on my optic nerve next to the patuatary gland. Did a biopsy during winter break of '95 (still the first grade), and determined it wasn't cancerous. I have had periodical check ups since and no growth has been detected. I rarely notice and don't have any noticeable disabilities due to it, most people don't believe me when I tell them. I also have a cool scare on my head going from behind my right ear to the middle of my head curving down to my hair line. Glad to hear you are doing well, its a amazing how far modern medicine has come.
