Another update - he had all of his MRI scans Saturday morning and the neurologist called this morning to say a lesion was found on his brain, and another “reactive spot” in his cervical spine. Doctor suggested that it could be MS based on these findings. He wants to do a lumbar puncture next.
He has an appointment with an ALS specialist Wednesday and his neurologist told him to keep it. Are lesions a characteristic of ALS or is the neurologist wanting a second opinion on the scans? The idea of it not being ALS is a relief, but I wasn’t sure the reasoning behind keeping this appointment.
