Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Both stroke and brain tumour can be diagnosed by MRI scan of the brain and the MRI can not be normal in these two conditions.
So, as of now, there is no need to worry.
You can continue the blood thinners for DVT (blood clot in veins) of the left leg.
Best wishes,
