Hi my name is Raven. I guess its time to get honest with the world and myself. 5 years ago was dx'd with a tumor that 2 neurologists said was harmless as it sat on the outside membrane of my brain. I saw a cardiologist for unrelated heart problems that viewed things different. I have been having blackouts - am black and blue head to toe and loosing large chunks of my daily life. He says the only reason he can think of is that the tumor has grown and/or pushed thru and is now resting on brain. I see new neuro tomorrow. And for once in my life I am scared shitless. I could live with it when it only caused pain and balance issues but now its entirely a new ball game


Love & Peace
Raven

" Go to the neuro ... it's critical if you are having severe pain, blackouts, dizzy, or other motor skill dysfunction. If the tumors were dx'd 5 years ago, it is likely they have grown. Tumors are like weeds, they like the inside of your head and look for every opportunity to grow. Sometimes they are lazy and will sit dormant for a long time and then suddenly make a very bad return. Good luck and stay with us. Tell us what they find. "
