  A neurologist did the same tests (balance test) on my son, and said he didn't have any tumor. He was wrong. I later took my son to an endocrinologist who ordered an MRI - he had a pituitary tumor.
The trouble was, pituitary tumors don't cause balance problems. The dizziness was from changes in blood pressure due to hormone imbalance. Adrenal hormone loss can also cause anxiety.

The only way to know for certain if you have a brain tumor is to see it on MRI. If you've had headaches and dizziness for months, see a doctor and push for an MRI if no other cause is found.
