We got Kristine's got her MRI results back on Thursday, March 4th.
She has a noticably enlarged brain stem.

This past weekend 1/2 way through a hockey game on Saturday, Kristine got such an intense headache, she had to leave the game. This never happens. She usually fights through it.

In the car on the way home (before we even left) she could hear ringing that scared her so bad, she was crying.
Under her eyes turned black, like she had been beat up.
Before her head hit the pillow at home she passed out and slept for more than an hour.
She seemed fine after that, though she was complaining that she was hot. She had no appetite.

On Sunday (afternoon), she developed a temperature of 103 and was clammy - sweating profusely. Skipped another playoff game at her request. (odd)

Since Feb 12 (the day she started her period), she's been getting more and more headaches - though they were happening prior to that.
It's the frequency and intensity is greater.

More tests will be needed.

Could be nothing, could be something.

Can someone please direct me to a good website on Brain Cancers (lists)

I wish I knew of one that would suit your particular needs.

Try this first: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp

Then this: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/braincancer.html

Have a professional make a diagnosis before you or anyone around you draws false conclusions!

This from WebMD: http://my.webmd.com/search/search_results?query=enlarged+brain+stem&filter=mywebmd_all_filter

Remember that raw data is useless without a professional who is able to interpret it accurately.

Time for a doctor to make a REAL diagnosis.

The dr. mentioned Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.

The only reason though is because her symptoms' mimick this.

Friday she is having a CT
