Brain tumour and stutter I do not want to scare you, things haven't gone bad quickly and nothing like that about cancer is going on. I've had a stuttering issue all my life. My mother recalls how she took me to speech therapy weekly for years after her work. Growing a teenager, I was very reserved. I always had anxiety about introducing myself. Thankfully Tinder dates gave me some nice years. The girls I'd meet would know my name and I could actually be myself. In 2016 I suddenly got tinnitus and was pretty ignorant about it after panicking at first. I had, though, doctor's referral for a brain MRI. It was sitting there for years and years... One day I took it – I went there and took the MRI. Then the doctor called me next day – he'd never seen anything like this. He said I have a large tumour in the fourt cerebellum and he'd have zero idea about its malignancy and that a neurosurgeon would call me in a couple days time. I waited. While waiting, my family was more panicked than I was. Meeting a doctor (Russian) I got a fucking prescription for mirtazapine The next day I was in emergency room for random muscle spasms and other sensations thinking I'd die. I didn't. And for 9 years, the brain tumour is still the same size.
