Dear all,
It is now 4 weeks since my last dose of chemotherapy and radiation. During this rest period, I have steadily recovered from the side-effects of the intense treatment including gaining back of 4 lbs I had lost. My energy levels are close to normal too.
Today, I finally had the long-awaited meeting with my neuro-oncologist Dr. Landolfi to discuss the repeat MRI scan results. I am pleased that the tumor has shrunk by over 30% since the first MRI in December 2015. Dr. Landolfi said they would have been happy even if there was no growth in the tumor and the reduction in size is a pleasant bonus.
This MRI result is a welcome sigh of relief in this tough battle. I am confident that my health will continue to improve with your prayers and blessings.
The next step is to continue oral chemotherapy for 5 days a month. The daily dose will be twice what I took during the 6-week course. There will be a repeat MRI every 2 months. Based on this, my next MRI is scheduled for the week of June 27th.
Meanwhile, my original symptoms of impaired vision have marginally improved but continue to bother me and affect my daily activities. I have an appointment with the neuro-opthalmologist Dr. He on May 3rd to check if she has any solutions to improve the vision.
Yours Lovingly,
Hasit

ReplyDeleteHasit, the shrinkage of the tumor has just started, God willing it will vanish in the next few months. So good to hear.
Your vision will also come back and so will everything else. We all miss you so much here and will always pray that you get back to normal sooner rather than later.
It is going to be a tough 5 weeks but not tougher than your grit. Wishing you all the very best.
I am sure Family is a bit relieved..kudos to them for hanging in there with you.
