When I was in high school, which was like about seven years ago, I told my mother about the frequent headaches I was having. Blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, severe throbbing headaches, blackouts, sensitivity to light and sound, all that fun stuff. She took me to the doctor and they took a scan. They told us that I had a mass in my head. It may be cancerous. They waited a week while putting me on steriods to null the pain, I guess...just made me look like a human ballon. and so the week went by and they did another scan. They told us that it didn't look like a tumor and it was just a mass in my head (the size of a softball) that hadn't formed all the way at birth. I still continue to get these frequent headaches, now with more blurred vision. So, the question is, should I get a different opinion???

Go to an Opthamologist, who is a medical doctor specializing in eyes. Have him do an eye exam to check your eyes first. It could be there is an unrelated problem taking place in your eyes. Maybe a simple one.

In what geographical part of your brain was the mass located?

Do you have access to a copy of the scan results from 7 years ago? If so take them with you to the opthamologist and then on to visit a different neurologist for a second opinion.

If I was evaluating your situation the first test would be eyes for vision problems, than a MRI to check for changes in the size, shape and location of the mass.

You need a physician to examine you.

Depending upon the severity of your symptoms, and the current date and time, have you considered going into Emergency - at the very least they maybe able to help you coordinating a more recent scan and evaluating your concerns.

With kind and gentle regards,

I certainly would. Quite naturally, I wouldn't tell the next doctor about the other doctor's opinion. You are paying for a second and third opinion, etc. Let the doctors do their work. What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, WHO can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. BEFORE you enter a room or building, say quietly "Peace Be To This House." - Luke 10:5 The house that I am referring to is the planet which is God's house. Those who are where you are, won't know why they are so peaceful. Now for the BIG GUNS, I want for you to read Psalm 35 to (Plead My Cause) - It is a long-winded, worthwhile and very valuable psalm. Ask the Lord sincerely for His help and he will respond to you in a favorable way. I wish you well. Peace, Love and God Bless.
