brain lesion

by lyda1954, Aug 02, 2008 10:01PM
I lost a sister 12 years ago with a cancerous brain tumor and now a younger sister has been told that she has brain lesions.  They have mentioned lupos, MS and never cancer yet.  Does anyone have any information or comforting words about this.  Thanks so much.

Hi there.

Different brain conditions can have different manifestations on CT scans, MRI's or other imaging studies.  Brain cancer would present with a distinct brain tumor and if her neurologist is considering other conditions, then I believe that this is not cancer.

A lot of people can have MS and still lead a productive, fruitful and normal life.  Lupus can be treated and controlled with modern day medications.  From what you have described, it seems that the exact diagnosis is still not known, or is too early to tell.  I know this may be a lot to take in but I believe that her doctors are doing everything they could.

Regards and God bless.
