Brain MRI A-OK

I saw my radiation/oncologist today to review the results of the brain MRI that I had last Wednesday.

Happy to say that the tumor that was Gamma Knifed last January shows a lot of necrosis and is dying. We were a bit concerned as my last follow up MRI 4 months ago showed slight growth of the tumor.

This is the way that my brain tumors normally resolve themselves. Slight growth and then implosion.

Lessons to be learned...Be Patient

Hugs Christine
