I just had a doctors appt (physical), I was only getting a check up, and he said that I may have a tumor in the back of my brain. I have to go get xrays. I am so scared, and mad, and all these other feelings. I am only 13, and I may have a tumor. My grandma passed away from cancer in her brain, back, and lungs. I dont know what to think or do. just found out just found out just found out just found out

I would be very afraid too. Odds are you do not have cancer or even a tumor. I hope they send you to a neurologist they know best on this kind of thing. Still, I would be very afraid. I think that is normal. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts and pm me any time.

I had no idea you were 13, your very wise for your age.

Anyway, yes, it's normal to be a little scared, especially with what happened to your Grandma (sorry), but please do not get to scared and freaked out till you get your x rays. It may just be a false alarm and the doctors may just be extra cautious since it is heredity and you had a family member experience this.

I'm going to keep you in my thoughts. Please keep us posted and let us know what the Doc says okay.
