Was about 5 minutes late for my CT-scan appointment. Past experience tells me that I might get bumped down the schedule, so I just took it easy drinking some water from the cone-shaped paper cup and watching 'Regis and Kelly' on the brand new 'LG' TV hanging off the wall.

Haven't even got a chance to sit down, the receptionist informed me that the radiation oncologist wanted to see me. So I called hubby on the Cell to hurry back from the dining area where he was getting himself some coffee.

Dr. Thawani found a small room and explained to us that becuase the Third Ventricle is surrounded by the Thalamus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus which involves lots of vital functions of the brain-body connection, and the MRI taken last week did not show any change from the one taken 2 months before; they are going to take a watch and wait strategy and schedule me for another MRI in 4 months.

Hubby was so relieved he called his Father right away.

Guess I'll just continue to use my skin medicine (got a refill the other day), sleep on my right side, and try not to do anything strenuous...
