Should I be worried ?

I have had some random symptoms for more than a month and when I went to my GP about it, he ordered blood tests and a brain CT.

The conclusion on CT: relatively enlarged pons.

I am now waiting for brain MRI scan and freaking out a bit.

This was the hardest week of my life but I am happy to report that I don't have a pontine tumour. Both the CT scans said enlarged pons but the MRI did not see any abnormalities.

I am home and getting stronger.

With only that conclusion, hard to say but as a fellow patient, it is hard to not be nervous... at least there is no lesion (mass) found. Some people just are larger or smaller. Keep us posted after the MRI!
