Weird, I found this thread because I was searching for “pain above eyebrow”. Huh. But, yes I did have a pilocytic astrocytoma, found at age 37! I had one seizure and went to the E.R. The CT scan did not see anything, but they recommended that I make an appointment for an MRI. The MRI found a “spot” or a “lesion,” as it was referred to, in my left temporal lobe. The neurosurgeon I spoke to didn’t seem too knowledgeable or experienced with brain tumors, so I decided to go to Mayo, and I am so glad I did. My Mayo brain tumor experts did not know what type of tumor I had. It was estimated to be low- or mid-grade. I asked about biopsy, but the surgeon said that in my case a biopsy would be just as invasive as a surgery to attempt to remove the tumor. Luckily my tumor was relatively small, so it was up to me whether or not I wanted surgery. I decided to go for it: I had good health insurance, and I wanted to fight the thing before it had time to get any worse. The tumor was 100% removed, and it turned out to be pylocytic astrocytoma. So, no radiation or chemo needed. I can’t believe how lucky I was. Now my only issues are that I have to stay on anti-seizure medication, I have some muscle atrophy in my right temple (cosmetic issue), and I get some headaches in my left temporal area. Oh, I found out that I am not eligible to donate bone marrow, but I am still eligible to donate blood.
