Question
hi my dad was just seen at a ER in va he went in for a other problm but when the docter came back he said that he saw a tumer in his head , we are worried about this now all they took was a ct scan of his head i would like to know could this harm him and is this something that would need to be removed.
Impossible to answer without knowing what kind of tumor that was seen. The CT scan should be followed by an MRI scan and then neurologists, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists and radiation therapists should decide what should and can be done. Please do keep me posted.
