Pineal gland Lesion
Hi, I am hoping I can get a question answered because unfortunately as I see my MRI report and I think we all do this we GOOGLE and GOOGLE to no ends.
Until I see my doctor I am worried like crazy!!!
I had some MRI's and CT's done and they threw a MRI of my brain in.
I am a Carcinoid Cancer patient and with Carciniod, well it can pretty much go ANYWHERE!
So the Scans were because I have been passing out, headaches, dizzy, nausea, among other symptoms.
When the ER did a scan the ENT saw something and wanted a dedicated scan of my sinuses and well that brings me to the MRI of my brain.
SO... (sorry of the long but brief start)
It states that I have a nonenhancing pineal gland lesion measuring 4 mm demonstrates low signal on T1 high signal on T2 weighted images remains stable.
I have not seen my neurologist in about 1 yr (see him for a seizure disorder that is stable for years and migraines) My oncologist that I was seeing In TN just left the practice so I am now looking for a new one will probably go to one in NY if not PA. But my primary doctor monitors me, she is great.
My concern is how fast do I need to rush to someone.
When I looked up the pineal gland is mentions of course the endocrine system and of course I happen to have an endocrine cancer and mentions a lot of symptoms that can be masked and misdiagnosed that unfortunately happens a lot these days and for years for Carcinoid Patients.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you
