Hey, Shonda!
I just wanted to let you know that I had my husband read your post. He works for the largest group of neurologists in Atlanta, and he has been managing the imaging department for 10 years (10 before that, with the same doctors at another facility). Now that you have his resume (LOL), here is what he said...
It would be very, very, very rare for your MRI to have been misread. If there was something large enough to be causing problems, it would have shown up on MRI. He also said that it is possible that your optic nerves are swollen (optic neuritis, I think). I am a little upset that your eye doctor made comments to know that would worry you with regard to a brain met.
Now, my husband shouldn't be dispensing opinions online, but I could feel your worry, and wanted to give you some sort of stress relief.
Keep us updated,
