I was originally diagnosed with a brain tumour.
I was told after days of scans and tests that they believed I had a brain tumour and they did 2 biopsies and that's how MS was eventually diagnosed thankfully

I was in the hospital for a week. They first thought it was a stroke, then lyme disease, then brain tumor... I was setting in my room thinking " brain cancer" when the nurse walks in and hangs a bag of steroids and said, this is a lot of steroids, you will feel ..... I say, I did not think steroids was good for cancer, she said oh no Hun you don't have cancer you have MS. With in hours I could talk again. They had given me the steroids and before it hit me, we were move to the hallway, Omaha was getting hit by tornados. When setting in the hallway the lady in the room next to me says, 96 boys killed or injured at Little Sioux scout came. A tornado had just ripped through the camp. My oldest son was in the building that got hit. He survived. It was a tuff week.
I was the same. I was told I had stage 2 glioma with 10 years to live. Had a biopsy soon after that confirmed MS and not brain cancer
