Ok, so I'm 16 years old and worried I have brain cancer.

To start off, I had a colon cancer scare about 3 months ago, so I've become a bit of a hypochondriac.

I've had this bump on the back of my head for about a month now. I immediately thought it was cancer. I then checked for symptoms online and saw a symptom was paralysis in one side of the body. I am not paralyzed in one side, but have getting some tingling sensations in my right foot and hand. I think I have been getting more headaches, but it may because I'm worrying, or am just paying attention to the slightest pains.

Any help?

Brain cancer would cause neurological deficits. These could include visual changes, speech changes, motor changes, weakness in arms and legs, headaches and many more. I don't think you have brain cancer.
