Some good news!

[roxy]

Good news! We talked to the surgeon yesterday, and he was certain, looking at Mr. R's scans, that there was *no* tumor on the pituitary gland. He said that it was swollen, but this was also extremely common and not anything to worry too much about. Blood tests will come next and if they are clear, all he has to do next is get another scan in six months. Doctor said there may be a possibility that Mr. R is experiencing ocular migraine without pain. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? He isn't experiencing any other migraine-like symptoms.

I'm so beyond relieved I actually feel a little stunned, guys. I'm so glad that I can share some good news with you!

I am a chronic migraine sufferer, we're talking one awful spell where I had 44 straight days of agonizing migraine pain. But I've only ever had one occular migraine, and that was completely without pain or any other symptoms. So it can happen.

So glad to hear this good news!

OMG! You poor, poor thing!!! I can't imagine that!

We're damn grateful and hope that that's what's going on with him--it was a relief to know he wouldn't have to go through surgery. :)
