In this guide, I am going to be talking about diseases in the brain that are neurodegenerative. Some of them are present in the brain in the form of tumours. A lot of times, tumours have been known to form in the brain, and they can be very dangerous. These are called primary brain tumours. In a lot of cases, cancer in your body can actually spread to your brain. These are called secondary or metastatic brain tumours.

Brain tumours have been malignant and benign. Doctors have been classifying brain tumours as grades one, two, three, four. Higher numbers have been known to indicate a very aggressive tumour.

Even though there has been a lot of research in the past century when it comes to the brain, not a lot is known about the cause of brain tumours. Billions of dollars has actually been invested into the research, but one thing they are not able to figure out is how they are caused or why they are caused. They have been known to occur in people of any age. The symptoms of brain tumour is completely depend on the location and size of the tumour. The most common symptoms of brain tumours or seizures, headaches, numbness, tingling in arms and legs, vomiting, nausea, changes in personality, difficulty in balance or movement, change in vision, speech or hearing.

The kind of treatment that you will receive will completely depend on a lot of factors like the size of the tumour, your overall health, your age and more. The main types of treatment will include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. If you are quite young, the doctor will suggest a surgery, so that they can remove the tumour immediately. Once you hit remission, you will probably be cleared of the cancer. If the tumour is called its early stages, you are in the clear, if you undergo chemotherapy and surgery.

In a lot of cases, the cancer is caught in aggressive stages. When the situation is that dire, the doctors usually suggest radiation therapy and chemotherapy to prolong your life, for as long as possible. The only suggest surgery in cases of success. In a lot of cases, chemotherapy will prolong your life for a couple of months, or a couple of years at the most.

Well, you need to consider your options. The thing about brain tumours are that they usually appear out of nowhere. Sometimes, people don’t even catch them, because they don’t show a lot of symptoms initially. In the early stages, they are very well known to have gone unnoticed. Make sure that you get the best treatment possible, if you want to prolong your life.
