Well it is official, to my families disbelief I actually have a brain ... :)
Constant headaches for the past 7 - 8 weeks, I finally put my worrying mind at ease of the 'brain tumour' fear.
I can now be rational and get back on track to fix my neck which is most probably the source that is causing these headaches, plus the stress of thinking something more was wrong.

What test did you do? Was it a CT scan with or without contrast or an MRI?

CT without contrast ... how come?

Just curious. There are so many tests that can be done to check for brain tumours so just wondering which one you did. I was afraid of tumours too a few weeks ago, not so much now, but I will be too scared to do a CT with contrast cause they will use a dye and also I would be too scared to go through an MRI machine.

My mum is a radiographer, so she did the CT for me :)
Contrast is only used when they want to look more closley at something.
Don't be afraid to get a CT or MRI, it is really not that scary at all, I found it quite relaxing as all you are doing is laying down.

The worst part was after it was over my mum was like come over and have a look, seeing the image was weird haha, that I was actually looking at my head structure and what was in it.

All was normal :)
