Question
QUESTION: is there any way you can give me any info on suto tumors i have been told by my DR that i have one an i was trying to look it up on the Internet an all info keeps going to brain cancer     .... is this brain cancer  or what is it i would be so grateful if you could email me something or just tell me somewhere i can just go to a read just about suto rumors thank you very much Susan Gray

ANSWER: You must have misunderstood/misinterpreted the name. I know of no suto tumor. Do you mean in situ tumor by any chance? What are your symptoms? Why did you consult your dr.? What examinations have been done? You must know what your dr. has checked, right? If you can tell me these facts maybe we can figure out what it is you mean.

Answer
So what you have is a kind of brain tumor. But you must have misunderstood its name somehow because I do not and can not recognize it. Please call your dr.'s office and ask them to spell its name and then write it here. Hopefully I will then be able to give you better help! It seems however that your tumor whatever it is is blocking the outflow of your cerebrospinal fluid since you have too much fluid and too much pressure there. Several kinds of brain tumors can do that. So I do need that extra information!
