Replies to "I have a brain tumor but what is a PRIMARY brain tumor. I have 2 hemangiomas...."
From my understanding, a primary brain tumor is a tumor which began in the brain. Other types of tumors are metastatic - they are cancer which began elsewhere in the body and migrated to the secondary location, the brain.
You are welcome anywhere you feel comfortable in Mayo Clinic forums. I've never seen anyone excluded.
I hope your find the support and information that will help you.
