Hi all,
Just wanted to share my story. Am currently struggling with HA due to Brain tumour/cancer fears. Started back in May when I visited doctor with burning in side of head. Was told it was migraine/tension headaches and prescribed Amytriptylline. After numerous more visits, still complaining of the pain , eventually doctor offered MRI scan (to put my mind at ease more than anything) Scan came back clear, which of course I was relieved about, but am now freaking out that because I had the scan without contrast, it may have missed a tumour. Does anyone know if a tumour would show up without the contrast? Have been visiting the doctor that often recently that I'm starting to worry that they will eventually stop taking me seriously. Have already requested ultrasounds and other tests due to ongoing stomach problems! Thanks for listening.
