Been thinking about you... glad the news is good.

Thanks all - and OK, Marie, if you insist...

My rads onc and I looked at the MRI today (and compared it to the other ones), and it appears to be a new one. It is about 3mm and poorly enhanced, which he said means it is not very active and is also slow growing. The 5 spots that we zapped with IMRT last Sept are gone, baby, gone.

I had my immobilization mask made today and will start the zapping proceedings on Tuesday (June 23) afternoon. I will go for 5 appts (Tue, Wed, Thu and then Mon, Tue) of IMRT and each visit will take about 10 minutes.

Isn't technology amazing?

You are awesome, mask already 'eh? Glad you surrendered in time, you are lucky I did not have to use my bb gun (wink). I find it so inspiring watching you be proactive and assertive in the monitoring and maintaining of your brain.

Remembering the date to send those vibes will not be hard because I will already be flowing with them. The 23rd is my uhhumm'th birthday and I am blessed enough to share another slamming birthday with the Mighty Oak. Wonderful things always happen on my birthday so I am confident this year will be no different! Here's to us Brenda, magical things are happening for us on the 23rd!!!>>Believe51

And I will send BIG birthday energy your way that day, as well as brain bugger zapping energy to ED all next week... Hope, love and prayers to you all next week. I promise, I don't need it - it's all about you guys next week. It will be a harmonic convergence!

Brenda.....GREAT news with the CT and PET!!! YEA!!!!
Hope to get rid of the bugger in your brain!
Good wishes to you.....HarrieCanarie...

Hi Brenda, So you have good news, and some more almost good news. Meaning its not very active and slow growing.

That means its a great time to get in there and zap that thing to smithereens...send it to the same place the last 5 went. Sending lots of positive energy your way. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers next week...hang in there.

I'll be thinking about you Tuesday...that little spot doesnt stand a chance in your brain.....this time, take it easy for a bit while you go through this...OK? We love ya girl!!!! hey, and by the way, i am gettin Brenda hair...oh, but mine is much grayer...like really gray!

Thanks again all - it's just one itty bitty spot and it doesn't stand a chance. Now up against my brain, even though it is slow growing and not very enhanced is probably a little more intelligent, but that's another story.

Sheila - your hair looks beautiful. I would rather mine have been more white/silver than the rat fur brown that I ended up with. I ended up having it artificially enhanced last month and I really like it, but would give anything for silvery white.

All this talk of zapping makes me think of those bug zappers. Wouldn't it be cool if you could actually hear the tumors being zapped? You know..that "Got it!" feeling. Could make for a very popular, albeit niche, video game.

I like that, Rich! You could be onto the new generation of video game ideas - tumor zapping. Now that's my kind of gratuitous violence...

Brenda, a little late, but I am ever so happy to hear your good news!
