Results from the neurologist not so promising

[Frisky]

Nothing wrong with preparing for the worst, sugar. Maybe the news won't be too bad. Did your neurologist say he needed to biopsy to be sure? Is the diagnosis coming from an MRI?

I did an MRI, and I really need to call her back because half of what we talked about when she gave me my results were lost in tears of confusion and fear. I do know I go back on Tuesday for more tests... different facility this time, and I'm just praying that the machine that did me the first time was just faulty.

After this next test then she will tell me exactly what we will be doing.

Bitch, you better not go anywhere until I have a chance to sweet talk you to come to Canada and live with me in my igloo. I'll keep you warm and you can keep me safe with your double bicep pose.

You can beat it. You're too tough to let this beat you. I'll have my Nana light a candle for you. Good shits happen with the Nan and her candles.

Yea... I know... and boy am I trying ever so hard to be tough right now. After the report, seemed like everything in the future passed infront of me, My kids... college, my family, home, everything... and what to do? Who will be there for my babies if indeed I don't overcome this. I'm not sure why I think the worse, but I do.

My best friend was diagnosed with leukemia and given 3 months to live. That was 9 years ago. She went through all the "What if's" which are normal.
Allow yourself to freak out and get mad, angry, sad etc......but BELIEVE me, you are ONE tough woman and will combat this like you have done everything else.
By the way, I have known 2 ppl who had malig. brain tumors. Both are alive and well today.

Don't make me send stuff to make you fat!

like someone said...prepare for the worst.
but hope for the best.

Don't drown yourself with negative thoughts just yet...especially regarding being able to survive it etc. You don't even know if that's the culprit yet.

I know 2 people within my "inner circle"...that have survived malignant brain tumors and have recovered and led terrific lives again. It was difficult for them while going through it (both had surgery)....but with time and proper care they recovered and never really had ill effects from it.

EIther way, i think you'll be ok....just stay positive regardless of what happens.

Ah jeez ..

Strongest, most positive vibes to you ... and while preparing for the worst is practical, I mean it Frisk, and as hard as it may be, try very, very hard to have confidence that they are WRONG, okay? Honey, they fuck up on these things ALL the time, I shit you NOT. I literally hear it virtually every day.

I'm not a doctor, but I am good with terminology (neurology is what I transcribe day in and day out) ... so if I can help, in any way, I would be more than glad to.

PLEASE remember something, DO NOT go to any meetings with oncologists/surgeons/neurologists BY YOURSELF!!! That is critical, you need someone else there, an extra set of ears (ideally bring a tape recorder and record all conversations) ask for visual aids, pictures, and websites and take NOTES, tons and tons of NOTES!

And you've got to get more than one opinion! You've got LSU and Tulane in your area (??? guessing). While I'm less than enthusiastic about the level of patient care in a university hospital they are always on the cutting edge of medical technology.
