almost definitely AN - pretty scared

[stuartl]

My weekends are usually very tame, and I don't see many people. That's not so bad, but with all of my concerns, the weekend feels far lonelier than normal.

I don't have any real news to share, but via a church connection, I was able to speak with the radiologist who will likely be looking at my MRI tomorrow. He's going to give me a call tomorrow night, when he should know something. This will definitely be scary, but I think it also means that I'll know what's going on before the neurologist does. The only thing is that I won't be looking at it with him, but I'm not sure that matters much. His educated viewing is what matters most.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

Hoping for a clean MRI for you and that you do not have an AN, but if you do this is a great group to be a part of, everyone knows how you feel and what you are going through.  You are in my prayers, hoping your anxiety level isn't too high, take care.

@phantagrae: I have never heard of 30 GK treatments?

Yes, it's actually FSR.  I misspoke in my signature (and I haven't yet gone back to correct it...

I spoke to the radiologist last night and had to ask him to verify after he told me that the MRI showed no tumor. I was and still am very surprised, given that my "story" is very indicative of AN, but nftwoer was right: the MRI is the word, not the symptoms or what one makes of them.

Thank you to everyone here for your kindness and support.

Best wishes to all of you,

Lance .....

Thanks for letting us know the results of your MRI.  I am most grateful you do not have an AN.  However, I certainly will continue to pray that you find an accurate diagnosis and treatment for whatever is causing your symptoms.

Let us know what your diagnosis is ..... believe it or not, knowing that would be very helpful to people facing the uncertainty of the cause of similar symptoms to an AN.

Thoughts and prayers .....

Thank you for your kind words and continued prayers, Clarice. Hopefully, one of the doctors will figure this out. *If* any of them ever comes up with a reason, I'll post to this thread.

Glad to hear you do not have an AN, hopefully you will have a diagnosis soon though and can be relieved of your symptoms.  Be well!
