My favorite teacher died from a type of brain cancer. She was in her 40s and lived longer than they expected.

I was born with a brain tumor on my spinal cord and brain stem. I went through 3 different types of chemo and proton beam radiation before I was 7. I am now thirteen, and it definitely has not been easy, but now in 7th grade, love my school, have an amazing family, and am happy. I don’t think I would get rid of the tumor, even if I could. I think it’s a part of my personality now, honestly. ♡

@canCreate13 I also had a brain tumor and I had it in my brain. I had to go through 2 brain surgeries and in between I had tonsillitis. Remember that you are not alone and there’s others out there sharing what you have. Never give up

When I was 2 I was diagnosed with Epilepsy I had a Brain Tumor.
I had the Brain Tumor surgically removed when I was 8.

What brain tumors aren’t caused by genetics? Genuinely curious

[@tuna0074]

Is a brain tumor the same as brain cancer

[@EmArilus]

Thankfully not, but I learned that years after I went around and told people I had cancer 😅. A brain tumor can be cancer if it’s stage 3 or 4. But if it’s stage 1 or 2, it’s most likely benign.

[@radnukespeoplesminds]

​@@EmArilus well its more complicated than that. Some people and orgs say that basically all tumors are cancerous except for like grade 1 meningiomas.
Also primary brain tumors are graded instead of staged because they typically cant leave the immune system

[@CanCreate13]

@@radnukespeoplesmindsyeah there’s definitely a lot to it.

[@brotherhood11111]

How do we check if we have brain tumor or not at home ..@@EmArilus

[@Super67953]

Benign tumors are still very dangerous and can take your life if you dont remove it. And then get chemo and radiation.
