RFP (request for prayers) - personal issue

Recommended Posts

This RFP is for a serious issue currently going on with yours truly.

My facebook friends are probably already aware of it.

I saw my family doc last week for some severe migraines I started having.

Doc sent me for a head CT scan last Friday. Doc called me a few hrs after the scan

(never a good sign) to let me know the scan revealed a "issue" in my right cerebellum,

ironically, the area of my migraines.

Doc explains the images indicate a possible AVM (arteriovenous malformation),

a life-threatening condition that usually produces aneurysms. Doc refers me to a

neurosurgeon for a consultation.

Neuro doc explains that the image is only a preliminary assumption and that a AVM is the

worse case scenario and that it could be a venous angioma, also referred to as a

"developmental venous anomaly" (DVA) which is NOT life-threatening and actually doesn't

really even require any treatment. A avm on the other had requires treatment, usually brain

surgery to have it removed.

Neuro doc has me scheduled for a MRI tomorrow and a Angiogram next week.

Both tests are required to determine for sure what the situation is.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers and thoughts and cross

your fingers that it's a DVA and not a AVM!

Obviously I'll keep you guys posted as I get information.

And for now, "really" don't make me angry, cause my head might "really" explode :(

(my attempt at lightening the mood)

Thoughts & prayers. Gotta be hard, I know... But try not to get too anxious or upset yet. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow
