Blogging in B Minor

The preliminary MRI report came in and the brain tumor is unchanged and stable! This is great news for me. As I’ve mentioned before, shrinking a grade 3 tumor is unlikely so management is the realistic goal. If I can have scans over and over again that are stable and unchanged, that would be a blessing. I have been asymptomatic and things have been moving along nicely. This obviously makes moving into the holidays that much better!!

Secondly, I am getting over this awful cold. It’s been one of the worst ever but that is, in large part, due to my embattled immune system. My wife and son got over what I believe was this same cold in 48 hours. It’s taken me close to a week and this is the first day I’ve felt half-way decent. It’s just part of what I have to fight against. However, I met with my oncologist and we are going to postpone my chemotherapy until Monday night. I was to start last night but I need to have a few more days to get my body back into decent shape.

The meeting with my oncologist was fine. There was nothing eventful that came out of that. We talked a bit more about everything and future approaches but in light of how I’m responding so far to Temodar, we’ll stay the course continue with our plan.

I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers. All of us with brain tumors kind of band together around MRI time, don’t we! It’s a great kinship we have and I appreciate the prayers.
