Hello, I was told September 30, that I have a tumor that is larger than yours with a small blush of enhancement. I have had 3 MRI’s with another one 12/30. If that is clear they may increase the length of time between scans. They are concerned it would hurt my language if they went after the whole thing. So far, no changes, but it is very anxiety producing though I try to focus on being happy and active. This works about 80% of the time. I had just one day of word finding problems and that is what lead to the MRI. Other than that, no symptoms such as headaches, etc. I am 67 so for all of us there are a few word finding issues. I, too, would love to know how people deal with the anxiety/ fear of this diagnosis.

Hi, I am in the same position, have problems to speak out the words due to the size of tumor which is pushing against my speech centre . I will be operated on 1/7/2020. I wish I could postpone it but don't want to create a bigger problem. Also, otherwise no headache ...just speech and my left eye shows some problems, but not always. I am also 67 years old...just hope for the best!!!
