Sorry to hear this...  Also, I don't know if anyone can really answer your question.  It seems everyone kind of presents differently - there are so many variables with brain tumors (location, type, size, aggression...)

We can tell you it is or is not a tumor but...  it would truly only be a guess.  Good luck with your MRI and let us know how it goes!

Some of what you describe are reminiscent of a brain tumor - slurred speech or trouble finding words, headaches, personality change, visual problems.

All of those symptoms can also be explained by a host of other conditions, much of it (sans the vision changes and edema) by anxiety. "Fearing" you have a brain tumor will undoubtably result in the manifestation of various symptoms. It's not very common for a person to "know" they have a brain tumor before diagnosis, though its possible.

Get a CT scan done.

these are symptoms that my fiance experienced before he was diagnosed with GBM grade iv...

Weeks before he went into coma, he kept saying if I pass out tell the doctors my brain is bleeding....

he always laughed it off and when I asked if he was seriously he always said he was kidding. But, he wasn't...he did have serious and correct body intelligence/intuition.

I hope your MRI gives you resolution...I wish you healing.
