I came across a type of brain tumor/cancer called a brain stem glioma. I have alot of the common symptoms, like my eyes have a weird feel; it's not the clarity of them but the feeling of JUST my eyes being dizzy and weak. Also, and for the first time, I had serious double vision. I sometimes get headaches, my limbs feel weak and sketchy, my face feels numb, my eye lids open automatically when I sleep, I feel very drowsy, and my head has a load of pressure on it. I was wondering if there are any other types of brain tumors or illnesses which mimic my symptoms because the survival rates of a brain stem glioma are very low. I was also wondering if an MRI scan shows it better, because one website had info on MRI scans for brain stem glioma. http://virtualtrials.com/faq3.cfm?id=1610 F.A.Q.

I am Italian and a few months ago my brother had surgery to remove a brain tumor in the frontal part of the brain. He has now finished chemotherapy and, at the moment, he is responding quite well to the treatment, but the doctors think that his life expectancy is only 12 months. I have heard about genetic therapy, but I do not know where I can find the hospitals in Europe that do it. I will be very grateful if you can give me some advise where to find hospitals that do this kind of therapy and other available treatments. http://virtualtrials.com/faq3.cfm?id=748 F.A.Q.

He had symptoms for a long time and we did not realize it was a brain tumor until the tumor began to bleed and caused stroke-like symptoms. How long can a brain tumor remain dormant? His headaches started in the late 1980's and his doctor did a CT scan that was inconclusive. The doctor suggested an MRI but the insurer would not pay for the procedure; the conclusion was stress was causing the headaches. In the early 1990's, the headaches continued and he began having other symptoms that we did not attribute to the headaches (projectile vomiting, loss of bowel and bladder control). These other symptoms were occasional and we thought it was something he ate. In 1993, after my sister died of cancer, we began taking an herbal tea (essiac) to prevent cancer; my husband continued to take this tea up until his tumor began bleeding in 2001. Is it possible the tumor was there from 1988? Was it possible the tea helped to prolong his being able to live with the tumor being dormant? He still had the headaches, occasional bouts of loss of bladder and bowel control, vomiting, and short term memory loss. I know, obviously, if he had been diagnosed sooner he would have had a better chance of survival. But, was the tumor there as much as 10 or 15 years before it was found? http://virtualtrials.com/faq3.cfm?id=880 F.A.Q.
