The numbness on the left side of my face, reported on May 9, thankfully faded away a couple of weeks ago and no doctors or dentists could offer me an explanation as to what went wrong. I don’t really care any more, I’m just happy that I don’t have to live with it permanently.
However, I did return to the hospital today to have a followup MRI scan of the brain and consultation with my neurosurgeon, Dr. David Walker. The artefact on the image in the area of the brain stem reported in my last post is still there but there is no change in it and I have no symptoms so Dr Walker is satisfied that it is not a concern. When he has discussed it previously with the radiologist they both agreed that it is inconsistent with the type of tumour I have so he believes that we should not worry about it unless I develop any symptoms (in which case I should not hesitate to contact him immediately). We have made an appointment for another regular review in three months time.
