HAving an MRI today . Thought I had Parkinson's but seems like symptoms fit this better. Headache in the morning mainly at the base of the skull. Messed up walking, writing and right side tremors. Should be scared but what can you do? It is what it is

    Hello Donna

    i wish you well with your MRI scan today. I guess you will get the results after the radiologist’s report. I really hope it is not a tumour. You refer, in your post, to a brain stem tumour but there are a number of types of brain tumour. All are rare compared to other cancers. I know because I have but one of the variants, unfortunately for me the most aggressive. I wish you well and send you strength. The MRI process is ok, I have had many. A bit noisy but you usually have ear plugs and/or headphones. Maybe even some music

    Best wishes

    Hi, Donna.  Good luck with your MRI.  I'm sorry you're going through this!  If you can, please try to take it one day at a time, letting the past go and the future be what it is.  You're in my prayers.  xx
