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

Hasit, any progress is good and this symptom reduction appears to be Good Progress. Good to note that energy levels are good and you are stable, this is just not the treatment but also your grit and determination. This will carry you through the next phase when we should see more improvement. Be tough and feel good my friend, will speak to you sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteDear Hasit,
ReplyDeleteHad changed my phone after i came back from US. So thanks to Shaunak, have got the latest update. Good to know the energy level is good. I am sure the situation will get better & better. Sangeeta & I were very happy to see you in good spirits when we visited you in May. We only wished we could spend some more time with you though.
Regards,
Sangeeta & Deepak
