Can a regular MRI see the difference of a tumor and cysts? I was told I have a cyst on my pineal gland that wasn’t there before and I’m so sick in bed bound and just got out of the ER. Please any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🤍 blessings of healing ❤️‍🩹

@lidiana - I’m sorry that you are so sick! Can you tell me what brought you to the ER?
Did you have the MRI there?
A skilled radiologist should be able to tell the difference between a tumor and a cyst. Do you have a follow up appointment after your ER visit? Neurologist?
As far as I have learned from reading about pineal cysts they are not that uncommon, but they have to be followed. Obviously, if they get large they can cause problems too.
A Neurology follow up is very important so that you will know if the cyst is causing your current problems and also what are you supposed to do.
