Hoping for answers

At the end of Dec i had a mri because I was smelling burning for about 3 months so they did a mri to rule out anything sinister out. Well something did show up on it but totally unrelated to the area relating to smell. They called it an incidental find a pea sized area in my cerebellum which could be anything from inflammation to a tumour the docs are not sure and I've had no symptoms from that area, since then I've had a 3t mri and a spinal mri and hopefully find out on Monday what it is. I'm post on here because apart from my husband, parents, sister and my boss at work no one else knows i go to tell my friends but when it comes down to it i can't verbalise it as it would seem too real, I've got my head in the sand until there is something to tell i don't want to worry too much as it could be nothing.  Sorry just wanted to speak to people in the similar situation i feel like my life is on hold im wanting to book a holiday for the summer but can't even do that as I can't sort out the insurance side of  things I just hate being in limbo.

  • Hi

    I’m sorry you find yourself here but this is a good place with lots of lovely people. Limbo is where we all go in the early stages whatever the outcome. And burying heads in sand is a way of protecting ourselves. Any one here will tell you this is a normal reaction. You’ve told people who are close to you so there are people there to support, listen and share. That’s good. Telling friends is not a priority until you know more, I think, unless you feel they need to know. I told my friends who asked me how I was doing but just the bare minimum....going for tests... don’t know what it is yet.  Feeling like your life is on hold is also a normal reaction. I felt that too. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in April 2018 and I felt like that all through my active treatment. Now I think my life is getting back on track.

    Come back and talk when you want to, ask questions, rant, whatever you need. There’s always someone here. And let us know how things go.

    I’m sending a virtual squeeze from my hand to yours. You are not alone.
