Brain Cancer

[fluers10]

Good day, I was in a car accident recently and had to have a cat scan done: Unfortunately I can not recall what the doctor had said to me, but I was informed they had found, I will say for arguments sake a spot on my brain that needs to be looked  at ASAP: They have referred me to a Neurologist and I have my appointment next week: My mother and an Aunt had died of Terminal Brain Cancer, I know my mother had a Glioma can not recall the exact name of the type of Glioma: But when she was diagnosed she was/ had  Stage 4 Cancer : Is Brain Cancer hereditary? I am not going to worry about this until I have the results, but would like clarification in regards to this.

Thank you for your response Dr. and advising me: I will definately keep you abreast: Good or Bad. The MRI is taking place on Tuesday June 14th: I am sure I will not have the results for a few days. With Regards, Jennifer

familial brain tumors exist, but as you are wisely thinking just wait for the control imaging study. And please note that CAT-Scans are not gold standard imaginary study for brain pathology, please do a brain MRI with Contrast (Gadolinium) and let me know about the result. You may also download your images to your profile then you notify me or just google my private e-mail to attach them to a message to me. Take care
