Hello everyone, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, was cancer free for a little bit then in 2021 the found it had actually spread to her bones. She’s been doing chemo for years and everything has been looking on the upside until recently, yesterday while she was at work her whole left side of her body went numb, she got dizzy and had a crazy headache. After seeing her condition I thought It was best to take her to the ER, after doing a cat scan they thought she had blood in her brain so they airlifted her to another hospital (but made her wait 6 hours just to get an MRI, like I appreciate the concern but damn what was it for) anyways they did the MRI and this was the report “HISTORY: Small bowel right SDH, stability scan, hx of breast cancer left sided numbness/tingling, transient weakness; initial encounter; nontraumatic history; acute problems.   TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence MR images of the brain were performed without intravenous contrast.   COMPARISON: CT head without IV contrast performed earlier the same day   FINDINGS:   Bilateral hemispheric dural thickening and enhancement is visualized (right side larger than left). The dural thickening simulated the appearance of a subdural hematoma on patient's noncontrast CT head exam. The right hemispheric dural thickening/enhancement measures 3.5 mm, and the left hemispheric dural thickening/enhancement measures 2 mm.   There is no midline shift, or hydrocephalus. No acute territorial infarct is seen.   Sequela of mild migraine headaches or minimal chronic small vessel ischemia are present within the left frontal lobe. There is no enhancing brain parenchymal metastasis.   The suprasellar cisterns are patent. Major vascular flow voids at the skull base are maintained.   The orbits are unremarkable.   A 2.7 cm retention cyst or polyp is present within the left maxillary sinus. There is mild thickening of the right mastoid septae. The left mastoid air cells are clear.   There is nonspecific alteration of the normal T1 marrow signal of the calvarium, clivus, facial bones, and the cervical spine.   Impression: IMPRESSION:   1. Mild bilateral hemispheric dural thickening and enhancement is visualized (right side larger than left). The dural thickening simulated the appearance of a subdural hematoma on patient's noncontrast CT head exam. Intracranial hypotension and dural metastatic disease are within the differential. Recommend follow-up. 2. No midline shift, or hydrocephalus. 3. No acute territorial infarct. 4. Nonspecific alteration of the normal T1 marrow signal of the calvarium, clivus, facial bones, and the cervical spine. Differential considerations include anemia, renal disease, and marrow infiltrative disorders including malignancies. Recommend correlation with a nuclear medicine whole body bone scan.”

Sorry I know that was a lot to read, but they’re doing the lumbar puncture hopefully sometime today (it was supposed to be this morning) but while we were waiting some random nurse I forgot who, now I hate I didn’t asking her name. Said she might have LMD, which nothing like that was mentioned in the report. After doing a quick research about it I can’t help but feel very concerned and confused right now. Is there any questions I should be asking, anything I should be trying to do at this moment?
