Tumor update...
I had my most recent scan last Saturday, and got results Tuesday. I was especially nervous about the results, because in December, three doctors couldn't tell if my tumor was recurring or not. These doctors included a radiation oncologist, a general oncologist, and a brain surgeon. The MRI report noted subtle enhancement. I have heard those words before, a few months prior my 2010 surgery. The general oncologist told me if my MRI in March looked like the one in December, that would mean no recurrence. The brain surgeon said my surgeon did a great job both times, and any changes were too minor to worry about. Still I wanted official word, and I wanted to see pictures.
So this week, I did. My brain is still the same. It has a hole in it with what appears to be a halo around it. The halo is still the same too.
I think about death often, though I don't want to die at this age, and I'm not sure the benefits of another surgery would outweigh the toll it would take on my body.
I'm happy I don't have to make any big decisions just yet.
