I am the soon to be wife of a Gulf War Vet. He has been having symptoms of a brain tumor for years and is finally going to have an MRI next week. The doctors are pretty sure that it is a tumor from the tests they have already run. I have heard of many Vets having this same problem but have never heard the outcome. I am scared to death and would like an honest answer from someone who has dealt with or knows how serious this can be and what I should expect. Are these tumors usually cancerious? Do they need to be removed? Do they usually reaccure?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
