Hi,
My friend has been hospitalized in 2 dif hospitals for 3 weeks now. She has had multiple MRI's, CAT scans, Spinal taps, blood work, you name it, and they CANNOT get a diagnosis.
One team of doctors thinks cancer. She has a nodule in one lung, a mass on her spine and something in her brain that they can't tell what it is. However, all the tests show "inconclusive".
The other team thinks TB, but her TB test is neg and her lungs show no TB..They think it settled in her spine instead of lungs. I've never heard of this...STILL there is NO diagnosis.
She is wasting away, weak, lost over 20 pounds. Her symptoms started w/severe headache and vomiting. She's been sick 6 weeks or more. It's affecting her short term memory BADLY. No fever. It just doesn't make sense.
They thought maybe a fungal infect. in her brain, but they dont know. This is getting SCARY. PLEASE, if you have been through this or know anyone who has, I'd really appreciate a response.
THANK YOU
