Hi everyone this is my first post and I’m sorry if this is a long rambling post .
My partner was admitted into hospital on Sunday night after suffering a seizure .
After having a ct scan Sunday then an mri on Monday we where told that they had found a 5cm tumour Atypical meningioma with oedema . Another scan showed thankfully that there is no evidence of cancer anywhere .
He was discharged on Wednesday without seeing anyone from neurology, just a telephone call to say that an appointment has been made for him on Monday . with the neurosurgical team .
Has anyone else been diagnosed with this type of tumour ? I have googled and have seen that it dosent automatically mean it is a cancer but it it could be . We haven’t spoken to neurology yet , only ward drs who told us the news . All questions that we have asked where met with “we are not neurologists so we don’t know “
Does anyone one know what the next steps would be ? Will he need biopsy to confirm his diagnosis .?
This has all come as such a shock to us and our family . We are just feeling in limbo at the moment .
Hella
