Bryon and I just returned from Logan and his appointment in Radiology at the Specialty Hospital. The appt. went well with no reactions to the contrast this time, but Bryon was pretty bummed out that they did not offer to let him listen to music during the scan. I guess when you have been doing this as long as he has you get used to doing things a certain way, but he got to listen to Tom Petty on the way home so it wasn't too tough.
Immediately after we arrived home, we gathered all the expert knowledge we have acquired over the past 2 1/2 years to read the results of the MRI. The actual report has not been written yet, but we were able to score a CD so gives us a visual. According to our not so expert opinions, the growth has remained stable and looks to be the size of a pencil eraser. That's good news if in fact that is what the doctor see's. We were a little surprised to see so much fluid in his head though. It has always been there since they removed the tumor during the last surgery in January of 2009. Maybe it is just that we are not used to seeing such large voids since they are generally full of cancer cells growing rapidly out of control.
At any rate, we feel a slight sense of relief that Bryon most likely will not have to endure another surgery in the immediate future. As for the written report, we will have it summarized by the doctor and be able to visit with him about it next week.
