I have no idea. Call the Neurologist. I have not mastered reading other Drs minds on the internet yet. But small cancer is of not help.

Have NO clue what kind of cancer you might have if this is a correct diagnosis, and have insufficient information to draw any conclusions from your post. Suggest, instead, you handle this via a more thorough approach, a virtual consult (www.connect@healthtap.com)
