Hi new here and absolutely terrified but trying to be brave.
I'm 56 and myself and my husband found out two weeks ago that I have a brain tumour called meningioma, reading my patient copy of the letter 14mm, right, frontal, extra axial mass with radiological features favouring a meningioma.
I have constant pins and needles all done my left arm and leg with the added bonus of pins and needles or numbness on my left foot. The foot sensation is not quite as bad as atm its not constant.
I'm currently waiting for MRI with contrast and I think the surgeon says with myself it will be a watch and wait but I'm finding the loss of balance I'm experiencing difficulty but I can cope with that, and I don't want to sound a moan but I can't cope with the constant pins and needles on my left arm and leg.
I also have Crohns, RA and Fibromyalgia so I did put the symptoms down to a Fibro flare hence why the news two weeks ago came as a shock as I was told by my GP that the CT scan was fine with slight thickening on right hand side of brain and that will more than likely explain the weakness, numbness and loss of balance as the right side of the brain controls the left.
To say we were unprepared is a understatement, think I'm still in shock and I know I'm extremely scared.
Sorry for the long 1st post.
If anyone can relate to this I would love some feedback, advice basically anything.
