He hasn't spoken to his vet this morning because she will be in surgery all day. It was the vet tech who gave him the info. He's more stressed today than he was yesterday. But Bailey has remained calm, no more nosebleeds or seizures at this point.

Thanx, everyone, for your feedback.
A possible approach is to find out exactly what the brain tumor test involves. If it's an MRI, then he could call to the nearest Vet school(s), and get an idea as to pricing. With the blood work normal that is pointing more towards neurological problems, and expensive tests. It may be a case of waiting to see if the symptoms can be treated with drugs. Presumably your friend had a chance to describe in detail what the seizures looked like? What we might call a seizure, a Vet may call something else.
