Get well soon

Today, I was told I have a tumor in my brain and require surgery. This all came about due to having a MRI for my migraines and then finding it. The kicker? They're positive the tumor isn’t playing any role in the migraines. I'm now struggling to cope and pass grad school exams with this weight in me now. FML

OP, I can only imagine what you are going through now. While migraines are bad (I am subject to them myself), the tumor is much more important. It's going to be difficult and at times surreal between now and whatever procedure is necessary and you have my heartfelt sympathy... By the way, sometimes migraines are triggered by certain foods we eat, but there is a delay between eating it and getting a migraine of several hours - at least for me. That makes it harder to figure out the sensitivity. Nitrites and nitrates are fairly common triggers for migraines, at least for me - They are often in cured meats like bacon, ham, beef jerky, hot dogs, and many deli meats. I personally have to be careful to avoid those unless I have seen the label and confirmed they have no nitrates or nitrites... By the way, while this is a dreadful thing to have happen, you may be lucky to have had the tumor detected relatively early. The odds for a good outcome go up the sooner they are detected.

How can someone possibly press the YDI button on this one? What do people think?

Stay strong. Also, even though they may say they're sure the tumor isn't involved with the migraines doesn't mean they're right. There are far too many factors involved with that sort of thing for them to be certain.
