December 23, 2016

Just heard back from the Dr. on the MRI. Before my Gamma Knife treatment there were 2 spots they treated and 1 area they expect was a vascular region they wanted to monitor. After the follow up MRI, 1 of the treated spots is completely gone, 1 is now very faint and not growing, and the area believed to be a vascular region shows no change which they feel confirms the vascular region diagnosis. Most importantly, there are NO NEW SPOTS! Thank God!

I will now have another 3 months until my next MRI follow up, but I'll have my follow up CT Scan on the 27th and a meeting to discuss the findings on the 4th (during my 4th cycle). Then I will find out how effective the Xalkori/Keytruda treatments have been.

Given how close to Christmas it is, I doubt I'll update this again until after the holiday, so if you are reading along Merry Christmas to you...
