Dear all,
I received results of my latest MRI during an appointment with neuro-oncologist Dr. Landolfi on June 29th.
The images show mild enhancement of the lesion in one dimension. In doctor's words, it looks more rounded and about 2mm larger in width.
Meanwhile, my symptoms are stable and energy level is good. Hence the doctors believe it may be inflammation from the radiation+chemotherapy treatment itself and not necessarily tumor growth. This is a common scenario during first few months of treatment.
We are going to continue with one more 5-day round of chemotherapy (higher dose) starting July 5th and repeat the MRI in first week of August. A PET scan will also be done in last week of July. Results of these tests will determine future course of treatment.
I also met with neuro-opthalmologist Dr. He on June 30th. She noticed improvement in vertical alignment of my eyes hence no double vision. She did not notice much change in lateral movement of my eyes which is still bothering me.
Thank you for your blessings and prayers.
Sincerely,
Hasit
