Question: I have had 2MRI's with XXXXXXX after having a severe pain just behind my R ear stopping in the center. The results I was told: chronic sinusitis, 3 cysts on pubertary gland. I have changes in vision & hearing, ears ring, can't keep my balance, vertigo, nausea, taste of metal in my mouth, migraine headaches, toothaches, weaknes in hands, some numbness in both limbs shifting from one to the other, some crazy shaking but not what I would call a (I can't spell it..sees-year) sudden anger, lashing out, crying jags. My GP will not talk to me, all of a sudden my oncologist sets me up for a CT. I am a breast cancer survivor of 4 years. Do these "cysts" cause all these symptoms? Ohni forgot, short term memory is gone, can't bring words forward, unable to spell. I use to love to read. Do you guess (hypothesis) that I have a brain tumor? Oh yeah, add I can't sleep any more than 2 hours a night. Also flashes of complete darkness in upper right hand corner of right eye!

I do not have access to my MRI 's & no way to upload them as I do not have an USB port on this iPad. I do have chemo induced neuropathy. I take 10/325 hydra condon, 15mg morfine sulf extended, x3 ea for break through pain & 100mg Lyrica x 3. I also take 60mg Prozac, 100mg lamital, 60mg dexilant (stomach meds) each day. I also have a script for Klonapan .1mg up 2 x2. I was recently given imitrex 100mg prn & meclizine 25mg x3 but usually only take 1 r 2. Also .phenagan 25mg prn. I have been taking the opiates app 3 years. I had to miss my last chemo treatment due to the neuropathy. The dr told me if I took the last treatment I would be n a wheelchair the rest of my life. I have never had any type of reaction to the current meds. I notice vision-hearing loss, unable to pull words forward, STM loss, balance problems before the hot steel spears of pain started in my brain. So it looks as though I have just blown 35.00 that I did not have as I went into debt to pay the fee. I am sorry. I am so mixed up! I have all these emotions of hurt & anger, lashing out at people & I don't understand why! I pray about it every day. I am pushing myself to be aware of this behavior, however I don't always keep everything in check. Please help me! Tell me what you THINK it could be, also want to mention that my hair has become very dry & brittle and my skin has become very dry! My face has honestly aged 10 years or more in the las 6weeks. I drink plenty of fluids & stay well hydrated! Help me! Thank you. XXXX
This is how bad my memory is, I have forgotten what I wanted to add to my reply! I feel crazy! And I have this crazy sensation in my head! It's so frustrating. My sister died with an inoperate brain tumor.
Now I remember! Lately, I have the feeling that I am lactating? Like my milk has come down & my baby is ready to nurse even though both breasts have been removed. My surgeon told me there would be NO reconstructive surgery. The tumor had already attached itself to my chest wall.

Thank you for your answers to my questions? First, thank you for correcting me on my spelling. I was at one time, before BC (before Breast Cancer or Before Chemo), a champion speller. It is very frustrating to have the word you want to use in a conversation when suddenly your mind goes blank. Then when having remembering the word, unable to spell it! I realize I put you in a "hands tied behind your back" position without the results of the MRI. For this I apologize. I made an appointment with my family doctor to discuss the results of MRI and what to expect with these cysts. He would not look me in the eye and told me any other questions that I may have to refer to my oncologist. He did check my lungs & heart with his (another word I know, but can not bring forwarded. It starts with an S, one part goes into doctor's ear, the other, on the patient's chest, neck or abdomen) the waived me off with something to help with the vertigo. Having losing all 3 of my sisters to some
type of cancer, one in particular a brain tumor, me as a BC suvivor, I have been very close to hysteria. With all that said, would you e able to help me to know what to expect as a results of having the cysts or do I direct them to my oncologist? Or do I go back to my GP and say "Hey, give me some of your time and explain things for me"? Also, you omitted the morphine in the pain management of the neuropathy. I would like to understand why? Would you explain the effects of long term use of morphine other than the obvious, that it would take more medicine to treat any pain as I am building up a tolerance to the morphine? Thank you for your help! Worry never changes one thing, however, in this world of instant gratification, it's so very hard for me to "wait". Thanking you in advance for the answers I continue to have.....sincerely, XXXX
I hope the above made sense to you. I feel helpless and don't know which doctor to discuss what with!

Maybe it's just me, but you come across just a bit condescending. I did not say that my doctor used the stethoscope to evaluate the progressing of a tumor! I am trying to get the point across that no one is really listening to me! So, let me make sure I understand you correctly, am I to ask my oncologist to refer me to a Neurosurgeon to get the answere to the questions I have concerning the MRI results? Thank you.
