Sad News

The patient I referred to in a post a few days ago came in last night for a contact lens check-up. They're doing well with the contacts, but had a rought time at the specialist's office.

Three doctors came in the room to see the patient. They all said the same thing I did, "Hmmmmmm". Knowing the patient's nerves didn't look right they did blood work and two different MRI's.

The tentative diagnosis: Brain Tumor. We'll know more when they get the second series of MRI's back. This time they're targeting the optic chiasm.

Hopefully, for my patient's sake, it's something treatable and benign. The referral docs promised to keep me posted.
