Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - please introduce yourself

I am here on behalf of a friend. The left side of her face is tingly and numb. She went in for an MRI and they found 2 lesions on her brain. One is at the Cerebellum, close to the sensory nerve. the neurologist wants to do a 2nd MRI to see if it has grown, a month later. Thinking it might possibly be Multiple Sclerosis, they will test for that on May 1st. The 1st MRI was done on 2-20-19. The 2nd will be done approx 4-12-19. Concerned about waiting to do these tests and if it is growing, is it not good to wait? Has anyone been through something similar. I would appreciate your feedback.

Hi, @camper, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You must be a very caring friend to be standing by her side and looking into this on her behalf.

You may have noticed I moved your post to this existing discussion on multiple sclerosis (MS) so that you can connect with others with similar experiences. Simply click VIEW & REPLY in order to read what others have said.

I'd like to encourage @flowbluelady @disneyfan @ricksraleigh @ydawson @tashanharrell @kcowan16 @sauvee and @kariulrich to offer their support as you seek to help your friend as she waits for the 2nd MRI a month after her 1st to see if the 2 lesions have grown and assess whether she may have MS. They may be able to offer some insights on whether this is good to wait for the next MRI if these are indeed growing.

How is your friend feeling about the waiting period, @camper?
