Apologies in advance for the long post.
At the end of October, I had a "funny turn," with stroke like symptoms. My daughter rushed me to A&E, que 2 days of tests including CT and MRI.
Anyway, stroke was categorically ruled out, but blood tests showed I was suffering Lithium toxicity.
At the beginning of December I received an appointment for another MRI for the following week (ie bloody fast 😁).
I confess, I didn't think much of it.
Wednesday last week, I had a phone call from my doctor's secretary asking me to attend hospital on the Friday.
I went and the doctor explained that the first MRI had shown a white spot and the second was to check if it had grown.
As there was no discernable growth, but I needed to come back in approx 8 weeks for another scan.
He asked if I had any questions and inevitably, I couldn't think of a damn thing. BUT, since then, my brain has been going into overdrive.
I've resisted the temptation to google, as that way, madness lies. Plus it will probably tell me I died 6 months ago 😂
If you've got this far and can shed any light, I will be eternally grateful. My 21 year old daughter has already named it Terry Tumour. Gotta laugh I guess.
