The exhaustion experienced by cancer patients exceeds typical fatigue, because it persists strongly and does not respond to rest. People with brain tumors experience extreme tiredness which makes it hard to perform daily activities and stay awake. The brain’s ability to control movement becomes disrupted when patients experience balance and coordination issues. Research shows that brain tumor patients experience two underreported symptoms, which include fatigue and balance problems, that need medical evaluation.
These warning signs frequently emerge before or together with headaches, which however, do not reliably indicate brain tumors. Research indicates that doctors should identify multiple symptoms at their onset, because this approach leads to better treatment results. Medical help should be sought immediately when you or someone you know, shows these warning signs.
