I was given a copy of the report that the orbital specialist sent to my pcp. This is what a part of it said:
"I reviewed her MRI scans and scheduled CT scans to examine the orbital bones. Those studies visualized an elevated tumor with a smooth but irregular outline that was on the surface of the posterior-lateral wall of the left orbit. The lateral rectus muscle and the optic nerve are displaced but not compressed. I suspect that the orbital tumor is benign -- most likely a Schwannoma or meningioma, but could be one of about 30 other benign tumors."
Not sure I like the words "I suspect" and "most-likely" in terms of waiting for surgery so I'm really leaning to getting it out as soon as I can, especially if it is displacing things. Just to add insult to injury the CT scan had showed that while I might not have symptoms yet I'm going to need a root canal real soon
