Relief

I met with Mr C my Neurosurgeon on the 21st at 8.45! It was an early start, however I found out that the first appointment was at 8.30. Anyway, everything was ok again. I have really got to stop doing this to myself, but I don't know how I will. Being an anxious person it is in my nature to worry, and I really don't want to go through anything like what I went through, ever again. But it is alright it may never happen.


I was asked how I had been, I said that I had been having a lot of headaches, and that I thought it might be my sinusis, well he checked it out and he said that I did appear to have sinusitis. I had been to the ENT hospital before all this, so it looks like I have come full circle. It seems funny.


Aside from this I finally got to meet all my Brain Tumour UK phone pals. We all met up for a pizza in London on Monday and had such a lovely time. I have been taking part in a conference call type thing for the last 3 years I think, so it was great to actually meet all of them face to face.


We then went off by ourselves to see the sites, Andrew, Kerry and myself. It was a lovely day.




All in all I am feeling positive but exhausted.

Worrying

Today I had my MRI scan and it wasn't the usual Chinese man! His name is Julian by the way -yes, he has a name!
I was scared but I did it. However, they didn't tell me the results so I am going to have to wait. They aren't supposed to give you the results but Julian usually does, which leads me to think that it must be bad news. Oh why oh why didn't they tell me?? I know it is against the rules for radiographers to tell patients their results, so it might just be as simple as that. I really, really hate this worrying.
