Hi, @kfs - you'll note I moved your post on 2nd or 3rd opinions on glomus jugular brain tumor here to this discussion entitled "Glomus brain tumors (paraganglioma)," as you've posted here before and it's helpful to keep information on similar conditions together.

Sounds as though you are feeling you are getting conflicting information on whether you have a tumor or not, and if it was there, how it might have disappeared.

Hoping some connect members such as @hopeful33250 @ashley5423 @ginette55 @spudlk @jenniferhunter will have some thoughts for you on whether tumors might just disappear. As far as a new MRI and being claustrophobic, @jimhd may have some advice on that.

Are you looking at a new MRI at the same medical center? Or, are you going to another one to get a second opinion? Alternatively, is there a nurse who works with the neurologist you most recently saw to get some help in interpreting what was said to you?
