Swollen Optic Nerve

[banklady25]

I'm 25 and last month I went in for my routine eye eyam.  The eye doctor noticed that my optice nerves for both eyes were swollen.  I was sent to a specialist and she saw the same thing, I'm so worried.  I'm going to get a MRI in  a few days, but I just want to know what is the worst I can expect? Like a brain tumor??

I also have it, and had my MRI. Evrything was clear. 8 weeks later still has not cleared up.

That happened to me when i was 10 yrs old. The doctor thought i had a tumor, so i had a MRI, CT scan, and a spinal tap done. Luckily it wasnt a tumor. I got diagnosed with Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. Ive had it for 10 years now.

But did everything turn out fine for you??

If you have a brain tumor what is the survival rate?

I had my MRI today, I hope it doesn't take long.  How long does it normally take to get MRI results??

Yes.  However, it could be something less.
