Mom got the results from her MRI along with Jill and I today. The radiologist said that everything was going as he would expect. The lesions have shrunk, the swelling of her brain has gone down, and most importantly there are no new lesions. The cancer is still there, however it is much more manageable at this point. She is not struggling with the confusion or the headaches, and short of still being pretty tired from the radiation, continues to carry on a pretty normal life.The radiologist does not want to see her again until August. He has an MRI scheduled for in late August and will share the results with us shortly thereafter. Depending on what the MRI tells him he has several options. He may have her undergo treatment with the Gamma knife, or the more precise Cyber knife. He may also order more radiation. It is also possible that he will leave it alone for awhile and watch it. There is no point in worrying about the future though, she is very happy to have this summer to do what she wants.
Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers.
