I received informal MRI results from my oncologist over
the phone this morning. The very good
news is that there is no sign of ANY cancer in the meningeal lining of the
brain - this is where I had the swelling that sent me to the hospital in
July. Dr. Bonomi is very happy about
this development. It is clear the
Tarceva is working. Yay!
There is a little gray cloud in this otherwise blue sky
report. There is a new tiny lesion
(we're talking millimeters) in the right occipital lobe that we need to keep an eye
on (pun intended - the occipital lobe governs eyesight).
The doctor is not at all worried about it and says if it
grows we can just zap it with focused radiation. I'm not feeling quite as
cavalier about it, but I can't do much about it so will do my best not to let
it worry me. I suggest we all take that
path.
I should have the radiologist's formal report on the MRI
by tomorrow but will only post something if there are any more details that are worth
sharing.
