4. Personality Changes or Mood Swings
Because a brain tumor can disrupt your brain function, it can affect your personality and behavior. For example, if you used to be patient, you may find yourself losing your temper quickly. Or maybe you used to be driven but have now become passive and withdrawn.
You may also find yourself experiencing mood swings for no apparent reason. You might be happy and content one minute, then picking a fight with someone the next.
The way you feel or behave may change depending on the location, size, and growth rate of the tumor. These personality and mood changes are usually caused by tumors located in the frontal lobe, the temporal lobe, and certain parts of the cerebrum.
Although these symptoms may come out in the early stages, they may also be triggered by chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and other cancer treatments.
