Exclamation OH what to do???

Hi all well things had been going well until ??? Last week had slight vision problems shaky vomiting. I had MRI done on brain and got really good new two of my tumors shrunk fro 6mm and 7mm to 2mm. Great now the bad news the big rotten one has grown again from 17mm to 23mm and i have a new problem mengines (not sure how to spell this but basically cancer) which is the layer of tissue between brain and skull in the frontal lobe. This has caused me my vision problems. Not sure of m next plan of attack i could have gamma knife on my grown tumor. But the lining of the brain not to sure. It must be smallish as they are not sure if the thickening is this. But side effects would indicate that it is.

I also have a sore back only when i walk not while sleeping and sometimes lying on the floor helps. If any one has any ideas? I think Brenda my have had some cancer in brain lining.

Thanks all I really wish my roller coaster ride would give me a break soon.

Lot of love to all
Jacqui xx
