Yeah, seriously. My husband and I were both mildly manic with relief last night, and it took a few hours before we stopped turning to each other every couple minutes to go “No tumor!”
Nice to meet you! It’s really weird to realize that I was last around some fifteen years ago.
I’m falling asleep right now, but long story short, there was some chance of a pituitary glad tumor. I finally got the MRI results today, and it came back clean!
It's always scary waiting for the biopsy results or MRI scans or what-have-you. And a sigh of relief when you get good news.
(Also, hi, I'm Iximaz! I was a little kid when you were last around, but it's nice to finally meet you!)

That's great news!
It would have been a real shame to have you come back only to find out brain cancer was to blame. >.>
In all seriousness, though, "not cancer" is always good news. I know (from a remove) that having something wrong and not knowing what it is really sucks, though, so I hope they figure out some other answer for you soon. Best of luck.

Ha! Indeed. ;)
The one thing that made it marginally less terrifying was that, if it had been what they suspected, it wouldn’t have actually been cancerous. It would have been a benign tumor pressing on my optic nerve, only even needing addressing because the optic nerve part would have otherwise eventually made me go blind.
The other good news is that my symptoms could be caused by a couple of relatively minor things I already knew about. This isn’t my first time to go through the “what’s going on” dance, and this one has at least been blessedly short.
