Morning 

Thats so lovely of you to reply x 

I just feel very vulnerable as this all completely a situation I didn’t expect be in . Early signs are that it is benign and just needs to come out .

I was misdiagnosed with a stroke because of the speech difficulty and it was another month before the tumour was detected off the MRI . I think that really shocked me too 

Sending lots of love to your Mum on her journey too . 

There were misdiagnoses with mum too.  I suppose it's not something that drs will immediately conclude as being the cause of the symptoms this tumor creates.  She was told sudden onset vertigo to start.  Then Meniere's disease.  It was only when she had a funny turn (for want of a better way to put it) that an MRI found the tumor. 

Completely out of the blue for us too. 

Keep talking to the people around you, I know how hard this all is for us who are trying to support mum, I can't imagine what it must be like to actually be the one who has had that diagnosis.  Mum was told that so many people just give up when they are diagnosed.  Trying to keep talking and trying to stay positive will hopefully help, even if just a little.
