WHAT IS DISEASE AND HEALTH?

Health- can be defined as a person's physical,

mental and social condition.

Good health is more than being free from disease; it is

having a positive outlook on life and feeling good
physically. To enjoy good health, a person needs proper
shelter, nutrition, exercise, sleep and rest. Good hygiene
and the access to medical and social care are also
important.

Disease -is a disorder or malfunction of
the mind or body, which destroys good health.

Disease may have a single cause - for example, malaria

or be multifactorial, such as heart disease. Diseases have
characteristic symptoms, which may be physical, mental
or both. Those that have a sudden onset with rapid
changes, but only last for a short time are called acute,
while the effects of chronic disease may continue for
months or years.

WHAT IS TUMOR?

A tumor- is a mass of tissue that's formed by an accumulation of

abnormal cells.
Normally, the cells in your body age, die, and are replaced by new
cells.
With cancer and other tumors, something disrupts this cycle.
Tumor cells grow, even though the body does not need them, and
unlike normal old cells, they don't die.
As this process goes on, the tumor continues to grow as more and
more cells are added to the mass.

Although,we have 3 types of tumors,such

us:Benign,Premalignant and Malignant.

Benign: These are not cancerous. They either cannot

spread or grow, or they do so very slowly. If a doctor
removes them, they do not generally return.

Premalignant: In these tumors, the cells are not yet

cancerous, but they have the potential to become
malignant.

Malignant: Malignant tumors are cancerous. The cells

can grow and spread to other parts of the body.

It is not always clear how a tumor will act in the future.

Some benign tumors can become premalignant and then
malignant. For this reason, it is best to monitor any
growth.

If your brain tumour can't be cured? 
Some brain tumours grow very slowly (low grade) and cannot
be cured. Depending on your age at diagnosis, the tumour may
eventually cause your death. Or you may live a full life and die
from something else. It will depend on your tumour type,
where it is in the brain, and how it responds to treatment. 

Treatment?
Even if the brain tumour can't be cured, treatment might shrink
your tumour and slow its growth. It can control your symptoms
for some time and make you feel better
You might have surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. Or a
combination of these treatments.

Getting a second opinion? 

Not everyone wants to have a second opinion from a different
specialist. But some people might want to do this. It might be
important for you and your family to feel that you have explored
every option. Asking the opinion of another specialist may
reassure you that everything has been done. 
The best way to ask for a second opinion is to ask your own
specialist to refer you to another specialist. It is common for
people to ask for second opinions. So your specialist won't mind
you asking. 
Your specialist can send copies of all your test results and scans
to another specialist.
