Last update! 5/17
I have been thinking that I needed to update to let you all know that the test came back and it was a meningioma non cancerous tumor. Yeah! The Dr had to leave 20% of the tumor in my head because it was to close to a vein that he didn't want to mess with it. Which means I will have to go in for a MRI every 3 Months. If it does grow back I will have to have radiation. Dr says I will be 100%. But to someone who had daily migraines this is life changing.
This is my QUICK version. My husband took to me to the ER because the left side of my body was going numb which is a sign of a stroke. Thanks to my 10 Year old son who listened to the Spirit and insisted. I came up with 100 reasons why this was normal. I have been having migraines for the last 18 Months but just figured it was a hormonal thing. Just a trial God had given me. ER did a CT scan and found a tumor the size of my fist in my brain. I don’t remember much after that. The ER Dr gave me meds that knocked me out. After the MRI I was immediately admitted to the hospital the MRI showed the Tumor was pushing on a vein that would have killed me instantly had it gone any further. I have good days and bad days. I was expecting to be running marathons by now. I was taking the wrong meds and had withdraws coming off them. But feeling better now. Since the size of my tumor was so large this is going to take time. You take so many things for granted. Walking is one of them.
4/15 update
I am home!!! YEAH!!! This was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Without going into the details I will just say I went crazy coming off the meds. Feels good to be back to myself. We became aware tonight just how close I was to leaving this beautiful world, very humbling
Can't mention the negatives without mentioning the positives It's changed the way I think of everything makes me want to do good and be a better person. I don't want that to wear off it's a good feeling.
My hair could be worse. They left the sides top and bottom. I can pull back it back in a Pony. Not sure about going out in public.
So far I haven't had any migraines! And my energy has been amazing compared to before surgery.
Thank you Peas for the thoughts and Prayers. Thank you for the Recipes, laughs, advice and Help along life's blustery journey.
Love to each of you

Update
Had catscan this morning to rule out any other tumors. No other tumors found but the tumor on my brain is growing fast. I've been admitted to hospital and will have emergency surgery tomorrow. Prayers welcome! Dr says looks benign and 100% recovery expected
OP
I need prayers. I do not know much but last Sat night I though I was having a stroke and my DH rushed me to the ER where I was told I had a large brain tumor. Tomorrow I go in for a full body MRI I need your love, and prayers.
Thank you,
