I have been having unexplained dizziness for the past month, and recently underwent an MRI to rule out anything in the brain as the cause.

There was nothing on the MRI  that explains the dizziness, but there was a mass on the pineal gland, which is pretty deep in the brain.

Now, if its a pineal cyst, and the radiologist seemed to think it is, then that's a fairly normal, common and usually very benign variant, which cuases hardly any issues and doesn't require treatment.

I see a neurosurgeon Tuesday, and I anticiapte another MRI to hopefully confirm that it's indeed just a cyst, and not a tumor. If it's a tumor, then I'm looking at Radiation and Chemo at best, and Neurosurgery, Radiation and Chemo at the worst.

Guys, I'm pretty screwed up over all this, so I need all the prayers I can get that this is only a cyst.

Thanks,

SG

My father has been feeling the same way for about the same time... I'm trying to get him to go get it checked out.

Thanks guys.

It's a help to know that prayers are going up from all over.

I have great friends here at Arfcom, and more that I attend all the Bama games with, and a wonderful family and lots of others all pulling and praying for me. I'm talking with the Lord about myself alot as well...This will definitley put alot of things into perspective.

Mike, I'll see if I can make the shoot Saturday AM...It would be nice to get my mind off this crap for a while.
