The test results are in Folks. This is what Duane's neurologist reported. His CT scan for possible growth between his rib cage and heart wall, negative, no signs of any growth, however, he is having pains in his chest. His MRI on the brain, according to the Neurologist, states that Duane does not have any gliomas. Two years ago Duane had a MRI that showed a 7mm glioma. The MRI of his left knee shows again, no growth, why is he having pain and feeling of a half filled water ballon behind his knee. The EEG, normal. Why is he having seizures? The colonoscopy, (performed by surgeon) removing a bleeding polyp, was fine, and as far as the skin tumors that were removed, all biopsied fine, except one. This had a couple of black spots and it was tested as having abnormal cells. Duane will be going back next month for a follow up and to check any other tumors that may have these little black spots.

The neurologist wants Duane back to have more tests done, due to headaches and the lack of energy along with a few other symptoms.

I really want to have a second opinion. My Son is not well, his medication has been more then doubled by the neuologist, and he sleeps all the time, Duane feels very drained, lack of energy and is tired.

 Oh and by the way, the neurologist said to Duane, while he was getting set up for a EEG, I was in the room with Duane at the time. "Duane, tests are in, guess what? You aren't as sick as you may think you are!"

Are you kidding? What kind of a neurologist says that? I about came out of the chair,  he scoodadled into the next awaiting patient room.

Folks, your not alone, it is so frustrating, you can't take any of the pain from your child, spouse, grandchild, sibling, parent or friend. But you can be there for them, be strong, incourage, and love them.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
