MRI coming up in mid May

My regularly scheduled (every 3 months) MRI is coming up in two weeks. This one is going to be at the new Hospital at Rush University on a brand new machine. I hope it is not as noisy. MRI machines are very loud.

I'll be interested what they say about the progression. That numbness feeling I get around my left eye has grown up onto my forehead and and sometimes down my cheek to my jaw. The doctor seems to dismiss any change in the MRI's due to a lack of symptoms. Perhaps the doctor will say this is not a symptom if they don't see any progression on the MRI.

Other than the face tingling, I caught the flu for the third time in life a couple of weeks ago. I felt better for a couple'a days, then I have been fighting bad headaches for days on end since. Norco is the only help when the headaches get bad. I've been poppin those a lot lately.  

I think about all the possibilities a lot, but I do not get depressed about it. I have a what ever happens happens attitude about it all.

  1. I have been following your blog since Jan, 2011 when my husband was diagnosed with his brain tumor.I'll be praying all goes well with your MRI.Everyone who gets through this cancer gives hope to all the others out there. I think that is the best attitude - what you can't control then don't worry about it.
