Cathy, we havent heard form you in a bit, I hope all is ok with you and your family...

Thank you to everyone else who posted.

it is a roller coaster...

Ok so here is the scoop. From my last post the "Cocky" Neurosurgeon Smile, said that he didnt see anything in my newest MRI, I received the radiologist report...and got something different...

"the T2 and FLAIR sequences demonstrate non-specific small focus of hyperintensity noted within the left temporal lobe white matter demonstrated on image...This measures less then 5m....Post gladolinim images do not demonstrate abnormal areas of intraparanchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement in the coronal or sagittal planes. Sagittal FLAIR sequence best demonstrates white matter abnormality noted within the left posterior frontal lobe. this is seen on ...This abnormality measures 5 mm in the greatest dimension."

Impression: "There are 2 small areas of abnormal signal intensity within the white matter...."

So it was not exactly a "normal" MRI. Is this the same as the lesions disapearing??? if they dispeared, why would the same areas highlight!!!! I know your not a DR, but tell me something, even if its just a lie!!!! Smile

Did I mention I was having a tonsillectemy and a lymph node biobsy on Friday??? I think they just found a cash cow!

Thanks for listening...again.
