freaking or not.. you´ll still be on our thoughts

hoping only for the best..

when my hand cyst was diagnosed.. I panicked and literally got LES thinking something superbad was gonna happen to me.. then I read up.. and found out what it was really.. and then knowing many Pters also had one made me less panicky and more in control... now I really don´t worry as much... I know a brain tumor isn´t comparable as a cyst.. but surely the words can frighten anyone who is not used to them..

gladly is a type that´s benign and can be removed... if they do shave you´ll look very pirate-y in those earrings :P

Good luck! Between now and then, make a list of all your questions you might have, and type it out to bring with you. Every little thing - I did, ended up with something like 30 questions, and my neurosurgeon answered them all, gladly, even the ones I thought were pretty stupid.

I'm glad you got a diagnosis, as alarming as it might have seemed at first. The worst is getting an "I dunno" from the doctor! I hope everything comes out all right.

Back from neuro doctor.. NO surgery. He said the risks of surgery on one this small far outweighs the risks so we are just going to watch it. I have another MRI in 3 months and on a regular schedule after that.. YES!

This all is in the ENT's hands now and he is on vacation and I see him on the
7th of Sept.. Looks like I just may make that Sept 22. crew change if we can get this ear stuff streightened out between now and then..Still having days of dizziness and vertigo..

... BUT, I am going to be driving myself now on the good days!!

Did you get to look at the MRIs? Isn't it cool to see your own brain in slices?

Yes, Karen, I asked him if I could see that thing in my head and he showed it to me.. I told him "Hummmm. I thought there was more empty space in there!"... (meaning I didn't have much up there).. He gave me the MRI CD to bring home so that I will have it for the next one and the radioliguist can compare this one to the next one.. I opened it but can't figure out how to get anywhere in there. Mine is at the front top of my head, right in the middle of my head.

Can ya'll believe they charges me $60 for the doctor to fill out the paperwork for my company on todays visit!!
