Can someone have a brain tumor for a long time and still feel mostly normal? Like if there are no major symptoms, how long before brain tumor symptoms actually start showing?

Yes, it is possible for someone to have a brain tumor for a long time and feel mostly normal, especially with slow-growing tumors like low-grade gliomas, which can remain asymptomatic for years or even decades.
The timeline for symptoms to appear depends on the tumor’s type, size, location, and growth rate. When symptoms do occur, they may include headaches, vision changes, seizures, or cognitive changes.
If you have concerns about a brain tumor, it is important to consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and imaging.
