Here's a directory that may guide you to specific sites for various kinds of brain tumors, including Foundations. Was there a specific type of brain tumor Foundation you were looking for?\n\n http://dmoz.org/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Cancer/Brain_and_CNS/\n\nhttp://dmoz.org/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Cancer/Brain_and_CNS/Support_Groups/\n\nAmerican Brain Tumor Association\nhttp://hope.abta.org/

Olfactory hallucinations are an early sign of a brain tumour.\n\nYou should consult a physician soon, for your own sake.\n\nIf you are lucky he'll just tell you that you are stupid, which is unfortunate, but not terminal.

I was diagnosed with MS May 4, 2005.  It started in Nov. 2002 with optic neuritis (i didn't know that's what it was at the time).  Then in August 2004 I developed a headache that lasted for about 5 months, followed with dizziness/vertigo.  I had a check-up, an MRI, heart echo, 1,001 blood tests, and finally a spinal tap (LP).  It's funny, I thought by now I would have accepted it, but it is still the first thing on my mind when I wake up, and the last thing on my mind when I go to sleep.  It's a big blow to get a diagnosis like this one.  I was 30 when I was dx'd, like most people.  There's too much to type here.  My e-mail is: multiplesclerosissux@yahoo.com if you wanna talk!  My name is Brian.

My husband, 24, has got an AVM in the Right parietal lobe of his brain.   I am not sure what a syrnix is, or where her AVM may be.  He was diagnosed with the AVM almost 2 years ago now, and has undergone 5 embolizations of it, with still more to go.  It has been a long, up and down battle, but as of now he is doing great!!   If you have any questions, or want to contact me, don't hesitate!--  Email me.  sonotech02@yahoo.com  \n  I work in the medical feild and have been researching this for the past 2 years with assistance from many doctors!

Have you told your doctor (PCP) everything you've just posted here? If not then do so and if you have and then I would suggest for you to get a second opinion. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

Um, I'm a bit confused... you're telling me she has a brain tumor, a  bacterial infection, AND a viral infection?  And you're still looking for a diagnosis???  The symptoms you listed are all clear signs of a neurological problem.  Any of the three actual diagnoses you listed (brain tumor, bacteria, virus) could cause them, as could any number of other actual medical conditions.  She should be seeing a neurologist.  More than that, she should be seeing a GOOD neurologist.  There are plenty of crappy doctors out there, and it doesn't sound like you did much research into WHICH neurologists she saw.  Find her a GOOD neurologist NOW, and stop wasting your time on "alternative" solutions.\n\nThere's no such thing as demonic possession, so you can cross that one off your list.  People can't cause someone to suffer actual symptoms just by cursing them, either, so cross those too of your list as well.\n\nDo you even know what a quack doctor is?  Generally, the term quack doctor is used to describe someone who has no qualifications and isn't going to successfully treat anyone.  People who go to what other people might call quacks don't consider them quacks.

Pseudo tumor is not a big deal in the long term.  You will get headaches and sometimes blurry vision but you will get better and live a happy life.  Remember it is good to exercise, take long walks and lose about 10 pounds.

I have a wonderful 12 yrs old son that has a brain stem tumor.He has had seizures since the age of 3.He is developmentally delayed having the abilities of a 4-5 yr old.He too,is my biggest joy.\n\nThe tough part is is seeing him struggle with simple day to day tasks.He will never play sports,drive, or hold down a job.Most likely,I'll never have grandchildren.\n\nThe joys are seeing him wake up every morning with a huge smile on his face.Saying I love you ,Mommy just melts my heart.We home school and to see the pride on his face when he "got it" on a new subject.\n\nThis is a wonderful question.Thank you for allowing me to share my story.I wish you luck with your special angel and hope he goes as far as possible.With a parent like you in his court,he'll do well!!

I just passed my four year anniversary for the removal of my 4 x 7 cm left frontal meningioma. It was pushing the left side of my brain into the right. That first MRI was a scary one.\n\nTwo years ago, I was faded off dilantin/zonegran on the same slow and steady rate without problem. I hadn't had a seizure, but scans showed "abnormal activity" that could be seizure related. My neurologist said after surgery for a brain tumor you'd expect there to be some "abnormal activity".  Dilantin made me so tired it was great being free from it. \n\nGood Luck, there are more of us out there than you think.

I am so sorry to hear of your father's diagnosis. All I can think of would be to possibly look into clinical trials where most if not all of the costs for treatment are covered. I wish you and your family well.....

While the people above gave great answers. So I won't repeat what was said.\n\nBut I just had surgery to remove this tumor one month ago. \nSo I did alot of searching for information about this kind of surgery.\n\nI found a website that is dedicated to this kind of tumor.\nIt is loaded with information, pictures, stories from others who are going through/been through this kind of surgery.\n\nThey have a forum where you can ask 100's of people, Questions you may have about before/during/after the operation.\n\nMy tumor was benign.(thank God) \nGood luck to you or whoever is going through this.
