Hi Everyone,
This blog post comes after 4 months. There have been two MRI results in the meantime - in August and October 2017. Both of them again showed "no significant change" compared to the previous reports. Although this does not sound very exciting, my doctor maintains that eight MRIs in a row ( 16 months ) with no growth in the tumor is an excellent result. He will continue to do the MRI every two months up to May 2018 before deciding about reducing the frequency.
My first MRI report in December 2015 showed the tumor dimensions of 2.0 x 1.4 x 1.5 cms and the last report in October 2017 shows it as 1.6 x 1.1 x 1.0 cms. There have been some ups and downs since the first MRI, but there seems to be a general decline in the size. Probably, the decline is so insignificant every time, that it is classified as "no significant change" as per normal medical terms.
Meanwhile, I continue with ayurvedic treatment to improve my overall health and reduce the symptoms of dizziness and improper vision. I underwent a 10 day treatment at the Sri Sri Ayurveda hospital in Bangalore in September 2017 during which I took 15 sessions of Hyper Baric Oxygen Therapy ( HBOT ) along with some other ayurvedic procedures. I plan to go again in February 2018.
Meanwhile, my trips back and forth between New Jersey and San Diego will continue. I am looking forward to spend some quality time with my grandson, Reyansh in the next trip to San Diego.
With love and gratitude,
Hasit
If situation is under control, it is good news. Get well soon. We will continue our prayers.
