Brain tumours can be non-cancerous and cancerous and are graded according to how fast they grow and how likely they are to grow back after treatment. Grade 1 and 2 tumours are low grade, and grade 3 and 4 tumours are high grade meaning they’re more likely to grow back after treatment.
Other symptoms to look out for are mental or behavioural changes such as memory problems or personality changes as well as progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body.
