Hey! we are in the same boat. I have a brain glioma. we have been tracking it on MRI and such. My husband got a bit snippy with the MD this last visit, and said "when are we going to finally know what this is?!" and the MD said "you dont want to know what this is." the husband freaked out, and said he was tired of being afraid for the life of his wife. if this is brain cancer, we need to treat it! if not, it would relieve us to know it. the MD said "the only way we will know is if your wife starts having siezures, and or stroke type symptoms, and it forces us to crack open her skull and go get a peice." the husband sat quiet for a min and said "you win! I dont want to know what this is." I sometimes feel like my life is a fragile egg shell. Is it a headache, or a brain tumor! sheesh!

Welcome.
