I have had three MRI scans which show a abnormality in my Petrous apex of my brain which is getting larger. I have been told by letter this may be a meningioma but the neurologist can’t be sure just by scans. He is asking a neurosurgeon and radiologist to look at my scan and make a decision. What is worrying me is that he has also requested a lung and abdominal scan to look for other abnormalities with out explaining what and why he is looking for. I haven’t even met this consultant who has written to me basically telling me in a letter I may have a brain tumour. I have found this quite stressful as I have so many questions that I can’t ask until the next batch of scans are done. I’m 51 yrs old and can not talk to family as to not worry them until I know what I’m dealing with. The secretary has told me when I asked for an appointment to ask questions there are none until January.
if any body has had a similar experience I would love to hear from you. Thank you
