Hi all new to the group and worried anomaly was found last year after a stoke opposite to of the brain I was told in March that this was probably a birth defect. Fast forward to may had fmri the mri again with contrast end of August  mdt met on the 7th sept they called me same day and gave me an appointment for Thursday at the appointment I signed paperwork for awake craniotomy but they still don’t know what the lesion is now my mind is going all over the place how long will I have to wait for biopsy think I’m just going down a rabbit hole with googling and worst case senarios 

  • Hi Moody-marie,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I can see you received a reply from our moderator Jenn recently. As she mentioned, it's difficult to advise on how long you will have to wait, as it can be different depending on each person and the area they're in.

    Try to avoid Googling as it often only leads to more worrying. I know this can be easier said than done.

    As Jenn said, we have nurses available if you'd like to talk things through with someone. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    I hope you hear more soon, and we're always here if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
