Hey, thanks for the reply! I agree that I should feel like the boss when I go to a meeting with a neurosurgeon, but I'm always so anxious about hearing the results of the MRI, so that I cannot really bother asking too many questions. About the stutter, they said a tumor in the cerebellum could cause a stutter since the area of the brain is involved also in co-ordinarion of speech. But they don't know more about it. As for my stutter, I can so something for it. Like doing speech exercises daily, living a healthy lifestyle and learning how to not care about it. It helps a bit, but I'll still always have the anxiety about not being able to say your name when asked...
