Wow - life changes! MD Anderson is great and should give you excellent care. Praying that it is non-cancerous and easily dealt with!

MD Anderson in Huston, Texas is where a lot of people go, so they seem up to date on medical procedures. They have helped so many people and I feel sure they can help you. Sorry your 'Christmas' was not the 25th but glad you had your family today and still got to enjoy. Keep us posted.-Toogie

You know that is really no way to spend Christmas. I am so sorry your Holidays took a not so good turn. I am hoping for good results in 2016

My goodness, not a good place for Santa to visit. Sounds like you have been, and are going through rough times. Glad you had a Christmas with your kids and now you are on my prayer list. Hoping and praying New Year will be a great one for you/Lillian

Wow! That sounds too serious to wait a month! You would be right to find out as much as you can. I am so glad you had time with the children today. Prayers for your good health!

If they tell you it is chiari or Arnold Chiari Malformation, please PM me. Much too long for this post, but if you are feeling better, you should also keep a little note pad so if you start feeling "off" write down what you were doing, if you had been exercising, were stressed lifting boxes, had been tipping your head back looking upward, having been to the dentist or beautician, had tipped your head back into the wash basins.... had eaten, had not eaten, slept, or not slept...just anything about that time so when you do see the doctor or a specialist, once they give you a diagnosis, then it may help them, to help you, know what is bringing on the onset of your issues. As it is not cancer, YEAH!!! That is awesome news, so now that cancer is removed from your list, you now know, that no decision needs to be made without getting at least a second or even 3rd opinion from the best in the field for that condition. If it means you need to travel to another state- PLEASE do so, as sadly I can explain the negative results that can happen. You only have one brain, if you choose a wrong doctor or they can not recognize when something has gone wrong, you will not get to hit rewind and make a different choice if you go with a wrong surgeon. Look at it like this, if something does go wrong, you would need to go to one of those specialty areas anyway, so go to them in the beginning to give you the best possible outcome. Sometimes new or unusual things come up and local doctors, though well meaning, just may not have had enough experience, diagnosing or treating that condition. I can ALMOST laugh, as I remember a person deciding where she was going to have her brain surgery so that her friends and family would still easily be able to visit her as she recovered, or the person who was choosing their doctor by how much of the hair they would remove. I say almost because it also leaves a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach as you will want the best possible advice and the best possible surgery if needed, and a doctor that will help your body have the best possible life going forward. I do not even look at bed side manner any more, who cares, if they will be the one that can help you get the best possible chance of survival and hopefully many more years of quality life. Hoping you are able to get some answers in the coming weeks and months So happy you were cleared of it being cancer! Pam
