Re: too many odd things
Oh, stressful . . . and this is your first brain MRI? The issue with MRI is, as the head of breast health surgery put it Monday, specificity. There is so much detail the scans pick up every little things, leading to a high rate of false positives with cancer. Then the surgeons are obligated to follow up to determine is it a malignant or benign condition.
I would suspect that you might be facing a biopsy, but I'm no neurosurgeon.
I hope you receive the answers you need on Monday. It is better to know. I would say that your intuition served you well. Have faith in yourself that you are making good decisions, and have now put yourself in a good position to make the most informed decision about your healthcare.
We are hoping the best possible news for you!
