T & P Please

I have to have an MRI tomorrow.  I have been problems with my ear (as some of you already know from a long time ago) and I just found out that it has nothing to do with my allergies, which is what has been told to me for almost 5 years.  I have hearing loss and tinnitus in one ear.  The doctor is saying that it could be acoustic neuroma.  I am trying to be hopeful but I'm freaking out a little bit.  If it is AN, then it's a benign tumor and it can most likely be removed, but just going through that whole process makes me sick to my stomach.  I haven't told really anyone other than my parents and hubby about that possibility because I don't want to freak anyone else out.  I just hope it's just normal hearing loss, I get a hearing aid, and all is right with the world.  It's been seriously affecting my reading and pretty much everything else because I get SOO frustrated with the tinnitus and it sometimes affects my vision.  

I'm talking in circles... 

Anyway, T & P would be nice, y'all.  

Thanks

  • Thanks guys.  So I found out Friday night that I have a brain tumor.  It's a benign tumor at the base of my skull...it's either a meningioma or acoustic neuroma.  It's rather large...it's causing blurred vision and hearing loss in one ear.  I have an appointment on Friday with a neurologist so they can go over my options as far as radiation or surgery.  I'm freaked.  I'm freaked because I have a TUMOR.  I know it could be sooooo much worse and it's not cancer, and I can totally see the silver lining, but then it hits me like a ton of bricks that I'm going to have to get this thing out of my head...
    I am glad that all my symptoms are wrapped up into one cause but I am just at a loss at THIS being the reason.

    WTF?

    Seriously.  I wasn't going to tell anyone until I got more answers on Friday but talking about it is a little therapeutic since I keep going back and forth and back and forth.
