- Further tests like a spinal tap showed no abnormalities, but the lesions remained unchanged.
- Her neurologist diagnosed early-stage MS and suggested starting treatment.
- She sought a second opinion, where a specialized MRI ruled out MS.
- Doctors found a thyroid nodule that was biopsied and shown to have a 50% chance of being cancerous.
