I've had my MRI results and there was some positives.
I will now have 3 Doctors, the doctor who's been doing my laser treatment, a eye specialist, and a face reconstruction specialist (who was my doctor at the beginning and haven't seen him in 12 years)
I have another x ray coming up with meetings with my doctor and the eye specialist.
They told me I will have a choice. The tumour can be left alone or be mostly removed. If its left alone I could have vision problems in the future as the nerves for my right eye are stretched as far as possible. If I get it mostly removed I could have vision problems for a few years along with the risks that are common with head surgery.
I saw X rays of the tumour for the 1st time ever and glad it was the first time, I never realised how big it was. Its goes from behind my right eye to the left side of my nose, and to the base of my brain.
Other note. I was asked for my permission for them to possibly use my x rays and pictures to possibly teach new doctors in the future.
