Anxious

[CELAT06]

Feeling a bit nervous today, I’ve an appointment for a MRI scan , I’ve got a meningioma ( a benign tumour on the lining of the brain near the pituitary ) I’ve had it since childhood and it’s caused a few problems. I had a scan last year and it’s grown so they want to do another to see if it’s grown anymore. If it has the options for treatment are pretty scary. I’m quite wound up and the weather isn’t helping as I hate travelling in the snow. I’m usually quite a positive person but the trouble with that is people think you’re always strong and can deal with anything, but sometimes the happy face slips and it’s hard to get it back. I feel like I’m facing this alone, probably my own fault for always putting a brave face on it. Just be glad when it’s 4 / 5 o’clock and I’m, hopefully, back home. Sorry for the whinge. Love to all. 😘XXX

This is not a whinge. I hope everything will be OK at your appointment.Another thing to remember, putting on a brave face and feeling alone is something you never need with the kind , considerate and knowledgeable people on this site.

Love to you also and prayers for a good outcome.

So sorry you are having to deal with this CELATO6. I hope the MRI scan findings show that the tumour has not grown anymore.

I know what you mean about people thinking we are always strong and I know sometimes it certainly doesn't feel that way when going through something first hand. Remember though we have, you have survived all things thus far and no doubt you will survive this too.

Think on it as just a necessary preliminary test and hope for the best outcome.

I know the feeling also of facing things alone but remember you are not alone as we are all here to support you.

Safe journeys and smoothe experience, indulge yourself when back home, you deserve it, love right back at you xox

Just read your post, I seem to be a day behind! I hope your whinge, as you put it, helped you through the day. As all your other lung buddies have said, whinge away, that's what we are here for, unburden yourself. Trust all went smoothly and you enjoyed being home relaxing with a well deserved tipple . Good luck for a positive result , Carol xxx🙂
