Answer
Taly:
 Only your treating physician can determine whether or not you have a brain tumor.  Rest assured, though, Computed Tomography has come a long way.  If there was nothing detected on your previous scan it's a safe bet you're in the clear.  There are, however, other factors that again only your physician can explore in depth to determine where this memory loss is coming from.  
 I'm sorry I can't be of more help but your doctor truly is the only one who can help you find the answers your seek by performing tests to determine the cause of your memory lapses.

Experience

I am a two-time survivor of brain cancer. At ages 11 and 23 I was diagnosed with Low Grade Astrocytomas. This was the motivation I needed to devote my time and effort to studying and researching this disease to help others have the same success I did. Because the questions I have asked over the years, are questions you may ask also, and the credible answers I received are answers you may need as well. *note* I am not a Medical Doctor, Neurologist, or Neurosurgeon. I am a brain cancer advocate. I have done countless hours of independent research and kept myself up-to-date concerning the latest treatment methods, medications, treatment facilities, and consumer ratings of the professionals in the field, by continuously reading the most recent journals and publications by other brain cancer experts.

Education/Credentials
My education is my experience and devotion. "Experience is the hardest teacher; it gives the test first and the lesson afterward." My continued devotion to increased understanding and being a proponent of community information puts me in a unique position to share with others the wisdom I have gained.
