Brain Tumor Symptoms and Brain Position

The difference of brain tumor symptoms when they are in different parts of the brain. Stands to reason when we know that different parts of the brain control different things. Also you need to watch out for personality changes with brain tumors, that is the scariest thing when someone's personality changes.

Brain Tumor Symptoms

Interesting and it depends on where the brain tumor is, but the maths symptom is something worth considering

clipped from www.dadsbraintumor.com depth perception ( a bit scary when he was driving) Shaking of the left hand an inability to process simple maths problems dragging of the left leg a problem with his right eye, focus and peripheral vision and in the end, no balance. I would like to draw your attention  to the Maths Problem,  I have since heard of two other people that had a brain tumor.  Their tumors were in different parts of the brain.  However they both had the same issues with simple problem solving.  This stands out to us now as about 12 months before my Dad was diagnosed he was covering a deck.  The deck was a rectangle and he could not figure out how to calculate the area of shade cloth he would need.  He KNEW he should be able to do it, but just could not figure out HOW to do it.   (length by breadth)  This from a person that had never had any issues with this type of problem in the past.  We put it down to getting old.  but now we know why.
