MRI
MRI, Medical Updates 3 Comments »I completely forgot to provide an update regarding my MRI! It was good news. No new lesions and the areas that were enhancing in the last two scans have diminished in this scan. Everything else is stable. Less mass effect (swelling). I also haven’t had any seizures for the past several weeks.
Aside from severe shoulder pain due to left-side weakness and the typical Temodar quirks I’m doing ok. I just think the cumulative effects of radiation (which includes the two gamma knife treatments that boosted my original dose of 60Gy of radiation by 22 Gy and 16Gy respectively) have just caught up to me a bit – radiation recall as it were but I am blessed. I am 3 years out from my diagnosis and for that I am grateful
Sometimes I think we all just get immersed in treatment to a deeper degree out of necessity. For me those deeper dives if you will are difficult when they come in sucession as they have over the past few months. I know for you other survivors reading you can relate to this and “get it”.
I also know that, for the most part, dark clouds clear in time and the sun breaks through again. It may be brief but it might just be enough at that time to keep me rolling.
To those I haven’t been able to get back with yet, I’m sorry! Especially Ben!! I will be in touch.
God bless,
