Might I ask what were your wife’s ‘symptoms’ that led to the diagnosis/MRI??
Asking because only after passing out at home ( I had no symptoms/ warning what so ever) and I was ‘ered’ to hospital... MRI ... they said it was a calcium deposit with inflammation around it. I’m 81 and they wouldn’t go in to determine exactly which it is because of other ‘usual’ illnesses/age.
I have had cancer twice before that and I would rather have a tumor than the calcium. Going in to diagnose is the problem I have. I’d like to know what it is.
Thanks
She had zero symptoms until one day had pain in rib area. We figured it was a strained muscle or tendon. But the pain did not go away for 4 weeks. So she made appointment to see doctor who ordered x-ray. The x-ray showed the mass in lungs. Then a PET scan found the brain tumor and also in lymph nodes. She had chemo + Keytruda every 3 weeks for almost 4 years plus several radiation treatments for the tumors as well. I talked her out of quitting the chemo 4 months back which causes horrible nausea and lack of appetite. She is no longer nauseated, eating much better and actually we did 4 cruises recently and she actually enjoyed the food. We will rely on radiation if any new growths show up during scans.
Where in your body they found the calcium deposit?
