Medical Problems - My life expectancy was just reduced.

[RiderontheStorm]

I was just given the news that I have a rather large Meningeoma brain tumor in my frontal lobe measuring 2.3 cm x 2.4 cm and naturally I am trying to keep my wits about me as I am just now recovering from a PE and just started on NOAC's (Blood thinners) which gave me a non stop headache and a subsequent MRI turned up the Meningioma. Waiting on referral with Neuro Dr. about how to move forward.

Hi

I am so sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine being in your position and getting such news! I really don't know how you're dealing with it.

My aunt also had a tumor in her brain, but she recovered. I know it's hard, but please don't equate your life expectancy with the severity of tumor. Let's be patient at the moment and hold our thoughts and emotions. The doctor will surely carve out the best possible treatment for you.

Take care

I can't even imagine how scary that must be. I'm going to keep you in my prayers that you get through this and that you get the clarification you need to move forward

RiderontheStorm, Breathe... one step at a time. Do not allow your mind to take over negative thoughts. Leave your worries in the hands of the Neurologist. The issue may

be there but it is being addressed. When we jump to our own conclusions is when we get in trouble. We will continue to support you throughout this new journey. One day at a time my friend. Good Luck with your upcoming appointment. You've Got This xx

Thank you all for your responses. It is a very scary time for me just now.
