Brain tumour

Brain and spinal cord tumours can affect anyone of any age. They are a collection of cells that have grown out of control – they can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant).

Symptoms

Headaches
Fits (seizures)
Feeling or being sick a lot
Memory problems or changes in personality
Progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of your body
Vision or speech problems

These symptoms could be less serious gastrointestinal diseases or conditions, and you might get used to them, but it is important you speak to your GP if your symptoms change, get worse or do not feel normal to you.
