Hemangioblastomas are little knots of blood vessels. The laser cauterizes them. It's called photocoagulation. After the procedure, I go home and rest. The Doctor said "no restrictions" so I was able to run the next day. YAY! I did notice something new this time, I had little black dots and swirls, kinda like floaters in my right eye. But they have diminished.
They also found cateracts. They aren't affecting my vision right now but when/or if they do, we will deal with it at that time. Probably just old age.
LOSING WEIGHT
Now compared to other tries at weight lost, this has been a little too easy. ...there is a little voice in the back of my head saying I should go see the Endochronologist. They did find cysts on my pancreas and kidneys. I'm a bit concerned at the borderline diabetic comment on my latest labs. We will see.

*Hemangioblastomas (capilliary hemangioblastomas) are tumors of the central nervous system that originate from the vascular system usually during middle-age. Sometimes these tumors occur in other sites such as the spinal cord and retina. They may be associated with other diseases such as polycythemia (increased blood cell count), pancreatic cysts and Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL syndrome). Hemangioblastomas are most commonly composed of stromal cells in small blood vessels and usually occur in the cerebellum, brain stem or spinal cord. They are classed as grade one tumors under the World Health Organisation's classification system.
