Might have a brain tumor. Should I get a second opinion?

Hi Jackie -Welcome. I am also a brain tumor survivor, though I do not have a glioma. However, I do have a VP shunt. Is that the same kind of shunt you have? Mine is for hydrocephalus caused by my tumor, which was actually an acoustic neuroma.

Hi! my daughter's hydrocephalus was also caused by her tumor. Instead of a shunt, surgeon put in a catheter. Where was/is your tumor?

Mine was an acoustic neuroma. It was in the CP angle next to the brain stem.
