Sorry I disappeared for awhile, I've had the flu - actually I still have it, but these antibiotics are beginning to get it under control. It was rough for awhile, barely got out of the bed for 4-5 days. Had my brain MRI yesterday, the four original tumors resounded well, they all shrank - there's one new one on the other side, so I have gamma knife again next Wednesday. The doctor feels pretty positive that this one should respond well since all the others did and apparently it isn't uncommon for people to have multiple new tumors when they have their follow up scan, so only one is great!
I'm having my chemo now, so that's a good thing, I couldn't have it last week because I was running a fever with my cold. I finally feel like I'm coming back - this cold or flu has taken more of a toll on me than having gamma knife surgery and chemo treatments! How's that for unbelievable! That's hard to believe, but whatever is going around this year is hitting everyone hard. I rarely get colds or the flu, so I think of them as being nothing - but I guess it's like Hurricanes - some are nothing more than inconvenient, others can be devastating! This is definitely an "Andrew"!
Well, the premeds are are making me woozy so I'm going to sign off. Hopefully I'll feel up to blogging again tomorrow!
