My follow up ultrasound is showing 2 cysts now - I've asked for a referral for a second opinion because they're still relatively small (2 cm) and no one seems concerned despite the potential risks.An MRI shows that I might have a brain aneurysm. They need an MRI with contrast so they can see blood vessels better... but yay no tumour found.Doctor asked me if I thought my fibromyalgia is causing pain... I don't know I said. She asked if I'd try a prescription for that would help fibromyalgia pain. I asked about side effects. She said dry mouth and sedation. I said I'd try it.It's an ant-depressant... and sometimes prescribed for neuropathic pain for fibromyalgia... with serious side effects.
I don't have depression, and I'm pissed that she lied to me.

Thank you @CanaryBird, I have been focusing on my health and spending very little time online. My new doctor is excellent, and believes that my health issues are not cancer related. I’m cautiously optimistic.1
