One my very best friends is in a medical crisis right now. She was having some strange neuro and heart type sx and went to the doctor the other day. He sent her for some heart testing and a CT scan of her brain.

He called her the yesterday and apparently she has a mass in her brain behind her nose near her eye. She is terrified and I am, too. She has to have an MRI to get a better handle on it.

We are all praying it is something benign and treatable.

I'm on it, Holl, this stuff is so scary.

Prayers are being said for you and your friend

prayers are being sent out for your friend Holly.

Hugs to you both.

You know what haunts me? When I first started having neuro sx and had my first MRI and it came back suspicious for MS, I said "well thank goodness it isn't a brain tumor"! I'm so sad for her to have to go through this.

I remember one doctor thinking I could have cancer or ALS and how scary that was. The opthalmologist thought of a brain tumor because of my presentation with the torsional nystagmus, but I already had an MRI that just showed all of my lovely smallish white spots, so I didn't have to worry then.

I really hope they can get a real quick MRI for her and that she won't have to worry too long without answers.

Holly, I'm praying for her....this is so scary...but when it's happening to you it's terrifying.

Like you, I can remember praying that what I had was MS....cause I had convinced myself it was a brain tumor.

Please keep us posted on the outcome of the MRI. In the meantime she's got lots of prayers being said for her.

Holly - Saying some prayers for your friend right now. I hope all goes well and, like you, hope it is something benign and treatable.

Saying a prayer for your friend Holly. That is scary, and I can't imagine waiting to find out what it is. I hope it turns out to be benign, whatever it is...

Praying for your friend....

Holly my prayers and thougths are with you and your friend
