I'm presntly undergoing a series of tests, MRI's CTw/ contrast, Lumbar and spine MRI's Bloodowrk, sonograon right side Tyroid. The last 2 will occur Thursday. However, I had an issue that I had to go to the ER today, Cat scan done on Brain. He found a legion, said it had scar tissue. WHAT? What does that mean. Should I be anymore scared today then when all the tests results come back?

After a traumatic brain injury,tumor, stroke, a scar tissue can form in response to lesions on the brain from the trauma and tumor.
Brain scar tissue can be seen in people with seizures and people with multiple sclerosis, too.
Usually, it takes between six to nine months for scar tissue to build up on the brain and interfering with proper healing or normal brain function.
Some scar tissues can be treated surgically, but others can't due to location at the certain specific and sensitive brain area.
Nanothecnology is new and promising treatment for this condition.

Best wishes!
