I plan recording my journey with this tumor and better health. 2 week ago I saw the ENT at John Hopkins Dr. Limb, He said he doesn't believe I have an acoustic neuroma. He believes it's a meningioma. The difference is one is on the nerve to my ear and the other is on the lining of my brain. He said it looked like it was on the lining and spreads out to the nerve. They won't know for sure until they get in my head.
Jan 14th is surgery day. The nurse called me the other day with the schedules for tests
and surgery time. I became nervous for the first time. i still have a hard time believing this really happening. Breast cancer was a shock. A brain tumor seems so unbelievable. But I guess it's real because I am starting to have other symptoms. The most frustrating one if the tingling and numbness and weakness in my right hand and arm. Just imagine your arm and hands falling asleep all the time. I also learned some of my confusion and forgetfulness is from the tumor. So with that all said I am ready for this thing to get out of my head and get back to normal.
The closer it get to the surgery date and after I will probably doing video blogs showing my recovery. I really hope what I am going thru helps another person get thru this. God is my rock and I couldn't have done this without Him. I know whatever reason I have to deal with this something good is going to come out of it. God only have my best interest at heart.
