hi every one. i am new to this site so im wondering if any-one can help me. i am a 21 year old girl and recently lost my father to cancer. he had a brain tumor secondary to lung cancer. around a month ago i started to be convinced that i too had a brain tumor. it started off with headaches and then memory loss and slight confusion. i went to the docs and she gave me some tablets for axiety and this seemed to help for a few weeks but now its back. ive got persistent headaches mainly in my forhead and the top of my head and poor concentration (probably because all i can think of is brain tumors) i know that its probably anxiety, i start analizing every thing that im doing to see if i forget anything, then get upset if i do. so i do know that im looking for these kind of symptoms too much, which causes my head to be all over the place, which ultimatly makes me think there is something wrong! its a vicious circle that i desperatly want to beat. my life should be about living not about worrying about death! any advice would be very much appreaciated!

Hi Sarah, please do not worry. I had a brain tumour removed last feb, and what you are experiencing is i am sure anxiety. I never had any headaches, mine was diagnosed by me having a seizure, which is one of the first symptoms you get, apparently.
