so let me get this straight, if the lump of cells grows large enough, it can squeeze your brain stem like a teenager squeezing his zit out? But won't that have special implications since I read somewhere that it is in the brain stem that one's heartbeat is controlled? Like death perhaps?
Yes, you're right squeezing of brain stem is dangerous. But not because of slowing your heart, rather slowing-surpressing your breath - the breathing centres.
