Can a brain tumor cause extreme personality or behavioral changes?

[Hityty]

My 50 yo sister-in-law was diagnosed w/a pituitary brain tumor 7 yrs ago. She began extensive natural therapies, she's been healthy & happy since w/no more symps of BT. But this last yr her personality has changed significantly. She has turned on her entire family: husband, 3 bro

Well thank God for this site. My husband had a bath then when I suggested he wear a clean robe instead of the one he'd been wearing all week (doesn't wash or shave or even dress some days) he ripped it in two and phoned 999 for the police.... then ran off down the garden.

Hasn't spoken to me since he told me to 'Get out' when I visited him in hospital the next day. He's now been out of contact with me for 3 weeks, apart from the odd very vicious email. A week ago he hacked my email and signed me up to Match.com. Of course, I immediately cancelled the registration and told the police.

How do I get his GP to give him a scan? He's complained of headaches and fatigue for several years and had testicular cancer (successfully treated - an op and one carboplatin chemo session) 4 years ago.

Couldn't it possibly have got to his brain as well? He goes back for scans due to the cancer, but they only scan his torso, not his head. He suddenly lashed out while driving the car for no reason at all in January. He claims his headaches are due to his medications for high blood pressure, whereas I get mine if I DON'T take my hypertension meds.

Don't worry and keep strong. It's not us, it's them. We are in the same boat. I'm going down to his GP tomorrow and demand she make an appointment for a scan. It's totally heartbreaking, but if I could just get a diagnosis, then although it wouldn't exactly be great, at least I'd know the reason.

Hi, I am now going through almost the exact same situation you describe with my wife. I know it was a.long time time ago , but what has been the outcome? Do you have any children? I have 2 9 and 12? Alan.

Sounds like 34 year old sister. She had  and still has bits of a pituitary brain tumor. They didn't find it till she was 19. as long as I can remember She's Been  verbally abusive  and even   physically . She's 10 years older  then me . Anyway she flips out over  little things.   This does help  me understand  her more.

r growing n my head.
I had one very large one (bigger then a x-large egg) removed 18 years ago. I got through it pretty well. My parents took care of me for several months.
I went back to work and all seemed fine.
The doc told me I would be well into my 70's-80's before they would start bothering me because they are growing very slowly. I'm going to be 65 n June.
I'm experiencing headaches and mood swings. My doc put me on a mild hormone pill and I felt better but then took me off after a year because she found out they can cause breast cancer.I couldn't handle the mood swings so she put me on SERTRALINE 25 mg once a day. I've been taking them about 6 months and I felt better.
Lately I've been feeling sad, arguing with my hubby and his kids and acting childish at times.
Has anyone felt this way also??
Thanks for any in put.

If your mood swings are caused by a hormonal imbalance, you might have PCOS. That’s what I have. I take metformin twice a day 500mg.

It can if it’s in the frontal lobe.
