Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Talked with ONC today and he settled me down. It helps when they are easy to get hold of. ONC said only one node in question and everything else looked great. ONC joked the scan reader could tell how many hairs were on your head after she finished reading the scan. If you knew the ONC that was a big joke for him. ONC said it was likely benign and if not we just take it out. Sounds easy does not it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Wish I could help you wioth your concerns. But all I can do is hope and Pray that it is nothing. Do not get to upset since you should be finding out more answers shortly. Hoping that by now you have at least talked to your ONC. Ingrid > I guess the roller coaster ride continues.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hopefully they can remove it and it is benign. That would be the best news of all. I am hoping and Praying that it works that way. Of course facing surgery and removing it does not really sound that easy. There is that healing process. Wishing you the best.
