Dear Editor,
As I read an article recently in one of South Valley Community Newspapers publications about Jim Rhodes “acoustic neuroma” and how he went to an ear doctor when he felt pressure in his ear, I thought of my mother, who in 1985 went to her ophthalmologist to complain of pressure in her eye. He found nothing. Several months later she was diagnosed with a glioblastoma 4+ (very aggressive brain tumor) which she died of five months later. Why don’t some specialists consider that these symptoms may come from sources other than the affected organ?
