I just found out I had an astrocytoma tumor 2 weeks ago because my face went numb on the left side, where do I go from here?

Do any research you can regarding care facilities within your reasonable geographic proximity. Search for "Regional Brain Tumor Centers". If you suspect any lack of complete competence in your medical professional, seek a 2nd, 3rd, etc. opinion. Good luck. Previous discussions I participated in: introduction
