Did you know that there are over 120 types of brain tumours – glioblastomas (GBM4s), meningiomas, astrocytomas, gliomas are just a few – all of which require different treatment options? In some cases surgery is necessary; in others it may just be question of watch and wait. But you need to know what the best course of action is. brainstrust can help you.
Doctors refer to symptoms and signs. Symptoms are abnormal changes you have felt; signs are what other people have noticed about you.
The more you know, the more you will be empowered to take control of your treatment and decide what the right path is for you.
