I wish I was posting better news.....but I guess that my journey still continues. After having another MRI yesterday, we found that the "mysterious new growth" grew a small amount, but enough for them to recommend surgery. They are still not sure what it is. They feel it could be another meningioma, or a blood filled tumor called a hemangioma, or another tumor all together. They are baffled. I am really struggling with the unknown of all of this. Because this has my doctors so confused, my cousin Jimmy made a few calls and we have an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday. We really feel like a second opinion is a must. After we visit them, we meet with my neurosurgeon from Allegheny General on Thursday. If CC recommends surgery as well, then we will be scheduling it as soon as possible. The surgery will be way more invasive and require a multiple day stay in ICU. I find it hard to comprehend that another surgery is in my future, but maybe after this one, this entire ordeal might be over. I am ready to put all of this behind me and having this surgery might be the first step.
I will continue to trust my God......for without my faith this situation would have broken me. I also want to thank all of you for your support during this situation. I am really lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life.
I wish all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
"He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in Him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord! Trust in the Lord always, for in the Lord is your everlasting strength." Isaiah 26:3-4
