Hi Sandylyn,

Don't jump the gun. The news of your MRI results do not sound good, but until you see a neuro and discuss it at much greater lengths and know exactly what is going on, what your options will be, what your prognosis is, etc. you should save some of that fear until you need it. Discussion with a neurosurgeon is not painful. Keep in mind that YOU are in control. No matter what the neuro says, what you do is up to you. I totally appreciate your apprehension and fear but save it until you hear something more definitive and informative. Fear can be beneficial at times, but save it for later, after you know more. We are here and will support you along the way.
