Re: Emergency mri &%#@$!!

Well...
My regular neurosurgeon is out of town...
but the radiology doc who read the MRI said he didn't see any new lesions YAY!
or an increase in the edema YAY!

But my onc still isn't sure where the new symptoms are coming from.
She said, "Go enjoy your trip this weekend! And we'll get your Avastin infused on Monday when you get back." "When the neuro looks at the scan next week we'll see what he says. But for now, there's nothing emergent going on."

So I'm shouting in my heart, "Blessed be the LORD!"
taking 8mg of dex/day... which has really helped the symptoms a lot.
And enjoying my reprieve!

Caroline - thanks for sharing the info about your adrenal gland. Mine sure has been through the ringer for the last 6 months or so! Maybe there's some of that going on.

Thanks to all of you for your love, support, energy, prayers!! When medicine fails me, I know where to turn!

So... I don't know exactly what's going on... but at least I'm good for my weekend... and Hawaii might not be too much to ask either. You know me, always looking for that silver lining!

I'll let you know when I know more... but you're all so sweet to me, I didn't want you to be more worried when you didn't here from me for a few days.

Love to all!
Denise
