Related: About this forumI have medical news to tell all of you . . .
My oncology doctor wanted me to get an MRI of my brain, to make sure that there are no cancer cells in there.
The MRI happened yesterday and today I got the results.
The report said:
IMPRESSION
No evidence of infarct, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, mass effect, or abnormal enhancement.
I couldn't figure this out, so I texted one of my doctors and he told me that I'm fine. There is no cancer in my brain.
Big sigh of relief!
PS--I'm going to give each person a rec as soon as I've read what they said. Remember that I value all of you and what you say.

(38,867 posts)Why do we so often get medical reports (from a Patient Portal or whatever) before we can talk to our doctor?
Sometimes it causes needless worry. So glad to hear your news was good!

(779 posts)that is spectacular news..............
My wife has been fighting Stage Four, for eight years, and all the tests and scans every 2-3 months show that modern medicine and cancer research is providing some impressive results to patients.
Hang in there, I will be thinking of you!
Take good care, and having a good attitude is sooooo important.....
