Brain tumor symptoms include chronic headaches; blurred vision; nausea; dizziness; seizures; impaired faculties such as taste, smell, hearing or touch; memory loss; and reduced physical function and coordination. Making yourself aware of the potential symptoms is the most important step toward early diagnosis.
Because the symptoms are varied and sometimes sporadic, other potential diagnoses are often exhausted before a brain tumor is actually diagnosed. The bottom line is that you can only advocate for yourself if you are armed with the facts.
