My husband's GP called today to say that the MRI showed no tumor or mass in his brain, but that there is "an area of concern" around his left ear. (Thirty years ago, he had surgery to remove an acoustic neuroma in his left ear canal.) Now he has a referral to neurology. Any nerve-calming suggestions for us in the meantime?

Sholbrook, my best stress and anxiety reliever is to not fear. It could be scar tissue, it could be easily treatable, it could be a doctor that prefers to be safe than sorry, it could be nothing. Wait until you know before worrying.

Our ears control our balance. So this is probably why your husband is falling forward when he bends over. I was told we have fine bones in our ears that, if we are lucky enough to live long enough, will deteriorate and leave us feeling wobbly. It could be this.

My point is, you don't know, so don't buy trouble, it could be no big deal.

May The Lord touch both of you and give you peace, strength, healing and comfort for this time.

Worrying before you have an answer is just sapping your energy. Until you know what's going on, assume it's benign and treatable. If it's something medically complicated and scary, you'll deal with it together.

Let us know how it goes.

You can ask for a PT evaluation to see if a walker will keep him from falling
