I had an MRI because of hearing loss/tinnitus in one ear. Audiologist said I would need an MRI to rule out anything brain related and asked to see me again in February 2017 to see how my tinnitus was. I wasn't worried at this point. I had the Scan on sept 28th and the scanner person asked me to wait 15 mins before leaving so the consultant could check my scans. She called me back in and said they needed another MRI with contrast. I asked if something was seen and she said ' yes but we need a better look and more images'. I had it done that day. When the extra scans were finished she came to get me out of the scanner so I went to ask if everything was ok but she said ' I can't discuss it I'm sorry' and said that the results would be sent back to the consultant who ordered the scans. I went home a bit anxious but not overly worried. Then a week letter I got a letter from the audiologist asking me to come in and see her in 3 weeks instead of February next year. I rang today saying I'm worrying like mad and could they give me any reasurance so I can not worry for 3 weeks, she asked the consultant and rang me back to say the consultant wants to see me tomorrow to discuss the results in person. I'm not usually a panicker but I have to be honest- I'm worried sick. I know they probably would have called me back sooner for life threatening issues but MS/dementia is just as life altering to me. I wish this would go away. I wish I'd never gone to see about the tinnitus now sorry to rant
