Please keep me in your thoughts tomorrow (update #17)

[Kirsten]

Tomorrow, it's time again for my MRI scan of the brain, more precisely, of the pituitary gland where I have a little tumor. It needs to be checked every once in a while, and the last scan is more than two years ago now.

I'm always very nervous when I have to face this, not only because the tumor could have grown and needs to be removed, I also fear the possibility of having developed other brain tumors in the meantime. Dealing with headaches and constant nausea all the time, I'm a bit worried about this.

Well, guess 24 hours from now, I will know. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that they don't find anything bad!

Thanks,
Kirsten

You will be in my prayers tomorrow, honey. I know only too well what you'll be going through, having been through it with my daughter Amy.

Oh, but it's always fun to see one's brain in slices, don't you think?

We'll be thinking of you!

[Kirsten]

Thank you! It's very appreciated!

Barbara: Good luckwith yours! Well, I skipped mine last year, but now it's really about time!

Donna: How's Amy doing? Hope she's well...

Karen: Well, hope the scan will show that I'm still having a brain after all...

Hugs to you Kirsten.

If they find ANYTHING at all, I hope it is something easily treated that will get rid of your headaches once and for all.

Your furry nurses will look after everything else.

Kirsten, my thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow and Marigold has all of her paws crossed for you, too. I just had an MRI done on my brain a few weeks ago to see if there was anything there causing my Parkinson's. It showed everything was okay. {{{{HUGS}}}}!

[Medusa]

Powerful prayers going up that all will be well tomorrow, Kirsten. Keep the faythe.

[RockyRoad]

Hope everything goes well tomorrow! Thoughts and prayers on the way!

[Kirsten]

Thank you all for your prayers and support! As so many times before, PT prayers seem to have worked!

I'm just coming back from Kassel where I had the MRI done, and the tumor hasn't changed its size. It's still very small and did not grow through the years. The rest of my brain looked fine as well.

Now there's the question whether the tumor is hormone-active or not. It could be that some of my problems are related to it, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the cause, so it's hard to tell whether surgery would make sense. After all, its a risky thing to do. Need to discuss that with the endocrinologist when I go there the next time.
