Brain Cancer Survivor

My story goes like this .. in 2016 I was rear ended with someone going almost 45mph. I suffered with a concussion. About a month later I spontaneously lost feeling on half of my body. Went to the ER where they preformed an MRI and noticed a gray spot in the front region of my brain which they assumed it was bruising of the brain from my car accident but recommended I go in for another MRI within 3 months to be sure. Well I don’t recall my neurologist mentioning that or trying to schedule me for that. Over the next 7 years I was suffering with focus and memory issues I was feeling extremely fatigued was also experiencing extreme personality changes and my primary care Dr would just order hormone test and say everything looks good 🤦🏻‍♀️ fast forward to New Year’s Eve 2022 I was involved in another car accident. After this accident my symptoms got progressively worse. I went to my family doctor and told him I needed another MRI to make sure I don’t have any permanent damage to my brain from the car accidents. The first MRI showed that the gray spot on my brain from 2016 had grown and was actually a tumor. I was then referred to OSU neurosurgeons to schedule surgery for removal. I had surgery on April 14th. And found out 2 weeks later it was a cancerous tumor. The oncologist believes he got it all out and decided to wait till July to do another MRI to see if I’ve had any changes or if it’s coming back. The waiting is the hardest 😭
