Title: MRI report
Post by: tenai98 on July 23, 2010, 05:25:31 pm

Even though the tumor is stable the report states that  I have 'small vessel disease"....I looked it up and its not good...Guess I"ll have to ask my GP about it when I see her next.

Jo ~

I'm sorry to learn that your good AN news has been clouded by the detection of a potential heart problem.  I hope it can be treated with medication and diet, as this condition often is.  Better to catch it now while it's treatable, then find out after a heart-related scare.  Still, you have much to be thankful and happy about, so do what you have to do but don't let this news dismay you.

I am interested in what you find out.

I found it interesting because I originally started having MRI's for a tumor besides the AN (other is still stable...yipee).   Anyways, my AN was small enough the first MRI said it looked like a small vessel disease.   Of course I freaked.   After MRI 6 months later they found out it was an AN, that is how much it grew.  Of course my AN kept growing faster than normal and started affecting things, so got it out.    But my MRI's never showed that 'disease' again.

Hopefully yours isn't something serious!!
