Question
yes I just came back from the emergency room in which I had a cat scan because I have been noticing allot of memory loss, loss of balance and a change in my speech> I was informed that i have a 2 centimeter mass on my brain. these systems have been occurring on a couple of years but since my father just died in December from Agent orange brain and lung cancer I was wondering if it might be the something or is it fro a car accident I was bad accident I was involved in a couple of years ago

Answer
I do not know at present if that mass really is a brain tumor or not. But I can not exclude the possibility. You SHOULD have an MRI scan of your brain too and then discuss your situation with a neurosurgeon and a neurologist to find out what should and can be done about it. Good luck!
