MRI Day!

Not that we are super excited to have another MRI, it is actually quite stressful, but at least we will know what's been going on. Bryon suffers silently most of the time since he has a hard time describing things in words. He has manged to tell me about his headaches the last few weeks. It may be nothing, but it is not like this man to have pain between the ears. I firmly believe that steel head fishing was good therapy for him, even though we all came home tired and ornery. We will go to Salt Lake on Tuesday, November 3 to have a scan and shortly after we will review the scan with Dr. Jensen.

Just a re-cap: If the tumor has grown 20% or more he is no longer eligible for the trial and will have to be referred to other methods of treatment. If the tumor is significantly larger (whatever size significant means.) surgery is always the best medicine. Thank heaven and prayers that we have seen little to no growth on the scans since surgery in January.

An update will be posted as soon as Bryon gets home from his appointments.

  2. Wishing you good luck! I firmly believe doing things to forget about this (like fishing) is such great therepy. It's amazing what just pretending to be "normal" does for your soul.

    Keep us posted!
