Well, I got the results of my MRI today. I have a small cyst in/on my brain. The doctor says it is not the cause of my symptoms but he wants to do a CT scan. So I get to do that on May 11. I won't know what needs to happen with the cyst until after the CT scan. So I have 2 weeks before I know anything. Not exactly reassuring. In all likelihood the doctor will most likely end up wanting to keep an eye on it. Do another MRI or CT scan in a few months and see if it's grown at that point. Still, I have something in my brain that isn't supposed to be there. Never a good thing. I'm not going to tell my Dad until I know more. He would just get freaked out over something that may be nothing. At least that's what I think I should do. I know myself, if I tell him and he starts to worry it will just make me worry even more...

Evidently I'm prone to cysts all over. I had sinus surgery a couple years ago and they found a cyst there as well. Plus I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) so I have cysts on my ovaries... I wonder how many other cysts are in my body that haven't been found yet? I'm actually not all that worried about this cyst at the moment. But I think I'll start taking my anxiety pills again just to prevent it from becoming a problem.

At least the fact that all they found was a cyst indicates my symptoms aren't MS. So that's a good thing. But I still don't know what's causing them. Of course maybe the CT scan will indicate the cyst is causing them. Who knows? I don't like not knowing. I don't really do all that well with uncertainty. I do a lot better now than I used to but still not that great.

Anyway, now that I've got that out, tonight I have a lot of stuff to do around the house. I have to do dishes, type up some notes from the last couple CSA meetings, make a cake, and do some laundry. Tomorrow I have to make an entree, go to a CSA meeting, go grocery shopping, mow the lawn, make another cake, finish the laundry, clean the house, and anything else I think of...

Luckily I have the entire weekend off so I can rest on Sunday. Yay!

Anyway, guess that's all for now.

Question for the day: Would you tell your spouse/parent/partner right away if a tumor was found in your brain? Or would you wait for the tests to be concluded, when you had answers as to what was going to happen?
