Life's little curve ball....is hit outta the park!

Just got off the phone with "my neuro-oncologist" (that term again) who reviewed the data with all her colleagues and the consensus is this: I have an asymmetric brain with a particular septum structure that is missing, a mid brain structure that is larger on one side than the other (hence the concern about a tumor), NO hole as the area referred to was from a slight asymmetry in the "cut" of the previous MR scan, but so significant change from the MR scan of last Spring. 

Bottom line: no evident tumor.

So WHEW! Bullet dodged and I'm back in the saddle with a malformed brain but one that most likely DOES NOT have a tumor and apparently doesn't have a hole! The congenital abnormalities can last a lifetime without causing symptoms or can manifest as seizures. So here I is and I haven't had a seizure for the last 5 days.

Now it's back to Bots to continue the exciting work begun there with a new perspective on things.

The last week has been a growing, painful, disorienting, and yet worthwhile experience to say the least. I just hope I prove worthy of the lessons contained therein.

Thanks for all the support.
