Weird question about elevators and brain tumours

[anxious_thoughts]

Hey guys,

I'm currently in NYC and had a question. I have brain tumour anxiety and I read somewhere that being in an airplane can make your brain tumour worse and can even cause ruptures due to the air pressure difference.
I'm just worried because tomorrow we're going up to the Empire State Building and it's making me nervous thinking about going up in the elevator, that's really high up. :/

Should I really worry about this?

Jenn - Just enjoy New York!!

When I went to New York on my honeymoon I had a great time but did let the anxiety take over at times which I really regret...

I have an arachnoid cyst the size of a golf ball in my head and im still here :D

Enjoy yourself...

You don't have a brain tumour though so please put that worry straight out of your head and enjoy yourself!

Thanks guys! I'm just hoping nothing happens, I'm currently waiting in line for it. :)

Jenn you should have told me you were coming to ny!

I don't know who said that but even if you did have a brain tumour it would affect it as air pressure doesn't affect body tissue. Besides a lot of cancer patients with brain tumours do those runs down skyscrapers for charity all the time I see on TV.

Thanks for replying! I didn't know that about the body tissue
