Did You Know...??

Did you know that there are over 120 different types of brain cancers. And doctors identify them by:
-the location in which the cancer/tumor is located in your head.
-how fast or slow the the tumor or cells grow.
-were it originated from. (If the cells grew in your brain/head, or if the cells were carried from an organ through the blood stream to your head/brain.)
-and lastly, how aggressive the cells are. (From "Benign" meaning "Least aggressive," to "Malignant" meaning "very aggressive.")
-they are also given "GRADES" on how severe they are or have become.
