Dear Anne,
It's hard to give a clear answer to this question, as we'd need far more details than are even available to you at this time. If this basic problem has been around for years, this latest discovery could be good news, as, depending on the nature of the nodules, their location, and characteristics, ere is now a more definite target for treatment, which might be able to help a great deal. Actually, he person who needs to be asked your very reasonable question, is the doctor who has received the results of these latest tests, presumably a physican or neurologist, who should be able to make the relevant details clear.
