I had a friend who had one and it disappeared on it's own. My aunt had cancer tumors in the brain and died with in 3 months of diagnosis. Sorry to hear about your situation. If you want more information youo should go with your dad to one of his Doctor appointments and start to learn about options. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

"Come out mental"?? - I think you and your Dad should educate yourselves on brain tumours and the affects it can have. By having a better understanding, it will allow you to deal with the situation better. | |

kewlschool is correct: In the future go to the doctor with your father. When people are diagnosed with an illness its not uncommon for them to feel overwhelmed, scared, and shocked at the turn of events. It would help if your father had another set of ears, to ask questions he may not not have considered, follow up questions, and lend support.

The brain is a very complex, delicate yet resilient organ, there are many possibilities. There is no one answer fits all you can get on the internet. You MUST speak with your father's doctor, FIRST, to even begin to understand what's happening. You can go from there in your research. | |
