Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi everyone, ??? It has been awhile since I posted so let me start by saying Hi and hope that everyone is doing well. To all the new members.. welcome to the group. This group has alot of people who have been where you are and can help you understand so much.? ? As everyone knows, I have a tumor in my brain that is causing chaos. I had a spinal tap and then required a blood patch to seal the leaking spinal fluid. The test showed I had? very high intercranial pressure and have excess fluid on the brain ( plus? around the tumor). I have been going through one test after another. I am in alot of pain with headaches and a flare. THe doctors are concerned with my vision loss and my optical nerves are not working right. I just saw a neurosurgeon in miami this week. Of course he wants more tests run ( great ). HE is leaning towards draining my spinal fluid then doing radiation to see if it helps. He hopes to start off with least invasive and work our way up. He is very against a shunt right now because of my history of mycoplasma infection. So I have been basically told to rest, take my meds and wait and see. This sucks ... no quick fix to help. I am still trying to do my classes through this but it has been rough. I am taking 4 classes. I know i am out of my mind. The only class I am worried about is my master molecular chemistry class. It is so hard and I am beyond stressed with it. But getting through it.? ?? I will try and keep everyone up to date ... I hope everyone is well and having a great weekend.
