          Interesting. Certainly those signs and symptoms are clear warnng signs of brain tumors and worsening tumors for friends and families…if not the patients themselves. I guess the strange part to me is how on earth could a neuroscientist…NEUROSCIENTIST!!…be unaware in 2012 as a melanoma patient, that brain tumors were not a possibility! Anyhow….for the rest of us…without all the neuro scientist status….Yes, Virginia. Melanoma patients can be at risk for brain tumors. Be vigilent. Live large. Love and luck, celeste
