Dizzy Spells Led to Shocking Brain Tumor Discovery
3 Oct
Summary
- Dizzy spells and brain fog were initially mistaken for low blood sugar.
- A CT scan revealed a 3 cm suspected meningioma pushing against her cerebellum.
- The benign tumor, likely present for years, was surgically removed.
Destiny Amos sought medical attention for symptoms like dizziness and brain fog, initially suspecting low blood sugar. However, a CT scan revealed a 3 cm suspected meningioma in the posterior fossa of her brain, pressing against her cerebellum. This discovery explained years of debilitating fatigue, anxiety, and cognitive issues that had been previously attributed to other causes.
Following the diagnosis, Amos underwent further MRI scans and spent a month in the hospital before surgery on August 24th. Doctors informed her that the tumor was partially calcified, suggesting a long-standing presence. The surgery was believed to be successful in removing the tumor completely.
Biopsy results three weeks post-surgery confirmed the tumor was benign. Amos is now navigating a slow recovery, experiencing some lingering nerve pain, headaches, and occasional memory difficulties. She anticipates feeling more like herself within three months and hopes sharing her experience will offer comfort to others facing similar health challenges.
