That same day I had an MRI and was called and told that I had an impressive tumor. My brain was swelling and I needed to go to the ER immediately. Didn’t have much time to think about anything, it was such a shock. I was lucky that it was not cancerous. I had to rehab for about 6 months and it was a very difficult time for me. Evidently I had this tumor inside my head for a long time and all my doctors missed it. I just want people to know that sometimes there are no symptoms until it grows so large that it puts pressure on certain brain areas. I was told that this tumor probably had been there about 10 to 12 years. I had completely lost all of my motor functions on the left side of my body but I have it all back now. I suffer from the ringing in my ears but I am so thankful to still be here.
Never stop believing in yourself, insist on a second opinion.
