Question
I dont have any tumours, but I do worry about aneurysms, mainly because my mum had one but survived a few years ago. I am normal and healthy, but I do worry, occasionally i can get a very slight head pain but its probably relatively normal

I just wanted someone to kind of put my mind at rest. Thanks

Answer
I'm here ONLY as a tumour/cancer doctor, nothing else. So this is outside my field of expertise here. I therefore strongly suggest that you direct this question either to an expert of neurosurgery here or to an expert of neurology her! Good luck!
