DEFINITION
Brain tumors are tumors that grow in the brain. A tumor is an abnormal growth caused by cells reproducing themselves in an uncontrolled manner.
When doctors describe tumors in parts of the body other than the brain, they use the words benign (meaning harmless) or malignant (meaning cancerous). These meanings change, however, when referring to tumors in the brain.
---now why do you ask i described this, because due to a few bouts of me going completely blind for a few minutes followed with eye pain and pressure, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with my eye itself, i gotta go checked if i have a brain tumor or any other brain abnormality...yep ****, but heck i knew my brain was special :wink: ...had an MRI, CT SCAN, AND OPTICAL X-ray this morning scheduled but had to cancel because HU insurance is not sure it can cover those costs lol, and guess what the heck if i have insurance....anyways my doctor said its more than likely optical migraines which he gave me some **** for, so i feel better already and not stressing it but my arm hurts from 2 blood tests lol....and i havent gone blind one time YET....yeah but i doubt i have a tumor or anything of the like cause i have no family history of it, and plus even if i did, not like i can afford treatment...better to die anyways then to put my mom and sister through financial ruin...but HU said they might approve me next thursday for the tests, so we'll see how that goes, even though there is nothing wrong with me...and why did my doctor discuss chemo and surgery and possible therapy with me like i really had it??...yeah he made me cry a bit, but ive gone through much harder stuff and i wont let this stupid punk doctor scare me or break me down like that ever AGAIN...havent called my moms yet, but im cool with it...because im not sure anything's wrong with me and dont want her to be all freaked out...anyways point is, if i get the results back and it says "death inevitable"....then like i didnt want yall to be too shocked....yep have good day *going to take math midterm*
lol yall arguing bout the health care facilities, but that is why this is hbcu :lol: :lol: ...basically my only option is HU hospital due to the fact all my childhood till i turned 18 my health expenses were paid by welfare and neither me nor my mom can afford private health insurance(dang have yall looked at rates lately, ridiculous)....but errr yeah HU hos-pi-tal it is, i was supposed to go today to get checked up, but again i didnt feel like going....i mean i havent had anything serious, no blindness today, and yesterday was only a short short time then other episodes, i think its just me adjusting to the medicine, and i have been under alotta stress so thats what i contribute it to, but ill get checked next week...maybe...i just dont feel up to it though...to go through all the waiting just to find out if there is serious thing happening to me
Yeah, i feel u Mila. HUH will do that mess too. A few weeks back my girl's back went out and we had to take her to emergency. These negros had her there for HOURS, sendin in doctor after doctor, each one askin her the same questions, yet each doc had a different diagnosis. I'm like...."okay, i'm gonna need u peeps to get it together". Then after all that waiting, they tell her it's just some lil muscle spasm, they'll give her some meds, and she can go on. She's like "that's it? Are u ABSOLUTELY sure? Cuz if sumthin even worse pops up, i'm comin back here and sayin that Dr....*looks at name tag*... Dr. BlahBlah, said i was completely fine and he was WRONG." But noooooo, he just knew he was right. Why even to this very day, she STILL has back problems every now & then? And they don't know what it is...Dern shame i tell ya.
Anywho, being optimistic is a definately plus Shoya. And even tho HUH can have it's days, i have faith in our people to pull through and give u the best care possible. Don't stress, take it one day at a time, and just keep up the faith. It's gonna be cool :wink:
