But that was 6 months ago.
Do I need to get another scan because 6 months has passed or is that a valid time period?

Brief Answer:
No investigation required at present get treatment for migraine
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
There is no investigation to rule out tumor as very small initial stage tumor will not be detected on Mri also.
But the point is such a tumor may not produce any symptoms.
Headache vomiting, seizure in tumor occurs only when size is big and causing pressure symptoms.
6 months is short time for most tumor to grow and is any tumor grows in such a time then it produces pressure symptoms and seizures.
Be calm, get proper treatment for migraine by a neurologist and you will get improvement in headache.
There is no end to investigations and no point in doing without any indication.
Visit to a neurologist will ensure any clinical findings requiring investigations.

My headache is not severe at all.
I have not vomited for over one year now.
I don't have confusion too.
So is it safe to say I don't have brain tumor?
Because 6 months ago,CT scan contrast came back absolutely normal.
