Dear Debbie

First, CTs are not reliable on the brain. However, that said, it did show something and the brain MRI will be able to give you a better picture of what is going on (could just be vascularization).

I know it is hard to not worry so I will not even suggest it because I worry regardless. Just know that I am here worrying about you worrying and I am thinking about you and have my arms wrapped around you. We are all here for you. I hope you hear your news as soon as possible.

Love and big hugs
