Tumors are abnormal growths in your body which are made of extra cells. Typically, cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. The body balances cell growth and division. Old cells eventually die and are automatically replaced with new, healthy ones. Sometimes, this process goes awry. New cells form at an excessive rate when your body does not need them and old cells do not die when they should. When these extra cells, dead cells remain to form a mass, it is called a Tumor.
Tumors can either be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are non-cancerous, malignant ones are:
Being diagnosed with a brain tumor is stressful to say the least. It leads to emotional and
physical implications that can affect a person’s personal life. Many people find it difficult to

honest and open conversation, and expressing feelings and concerns, is an essential step towards
getting the right help.

Also,being optimistic and positive goes a long way!!!
