~Mighty Oak's Brain Results~10-30-2008

(from phone call to nurse)

Well, the 10 mets were successfully treated by Gamma Knife. I know no specifics since I have not read these results nor sat and talked to doctor yet.

We did discover one more met in the frontal lobe. I choked back tears since we was not aiming for this news. His nurse gave sympathy and I told her not to feel bad but be happy, this news just makes us know what to do.

The met is 5mm and will again be treated with Gamma Knife. I think we will have to start Tykerb and Herceptin again. Seperately they failed him but together we are hoping for a miracle.

I am already depressed and I guess in the back of my head I knew this is how it may happen. I know I have not been as active and supportive as I normally am here. I have been following you all each day. I may have not posted in threads but I have celebrated your birthdays, the reoccurances, the trials and tribulations. I love you all.

Now I must dry my eyes and break the news to Ed. Wish me luck because there is no easy way to do this.>>Believe51

PS: Before I go home I will go the long way so I can let loose and scream!!

Marie:

Our prayers are with you and Ed. I know there is no way to break the bad news to Ed, but the fact that the gamma knife worked on the other mets is encouraging. Please take care of yourself, I know this has been a very long and hard battle for you.

Thumbs down

For Heaven's Sake!
Breaking news to a patient is what the DOCTOR is supposed to do!! Not the patient's wife.
Can't believe they have not scheduled him to come in this week.
What a bunch of slackers - JMHO.

Marie, you should have demanded an appointment be made within a few days of the scan if they did not do that voluntarily.

The doctor is supposed to give the results and have a plan to discuss at the same time. So sorry they put you through this.

Mighty Oak will be just fine if they ever get him tended to ...

Hrrumph - how do I vent to his docs, this is for them.

Well, you are taking whack-a-mole to a whole new level. So sorry after the GK bowled a strike and knocked down all ten, that now a new one has dared to pop up. That won't stand for long.

Marie, we love you and Ed. You have been such a support to all of us here, and we (I) appreciate that you have been keeping an eye on us even when you don't have the time or energy to post.

How bout for a while you let us, and our prayers, lift YOU up. Let us wrap love and prayers around you and Ed, that your strength and hope is renewed.

I agree with the others. The fact that GK worked on the other mets is encouraging and seems to validate a tool at your disposal.

It is me...

Steph, We did have an appointment but Ed's back is hurting so much we could not make it down there (30 miles). The doctor wanted to break this news but I thought it would be better if I did this time. We have the plan ready, thank goodness.

I have complete respect for our teams. The Gamma Knife team consists of 6 doctors (THE Gammaman & WBR Doc & 4 consultants). Steph, I so love how you protect us, you are too cute.

I am so blessed having you all watching over us. I always feel like we live in a giant protective bubble. You guys rock.

I love you all and could never live without this family!!>>Believe51

Marie, I am so sorry to hear about the new problem but I'm also confident that Ed will have good results from the gamma knife again.
I agree with the others, you just sit back and let everyone here love you and Ed. Don't feel that if you don't post on every thread that you're not a great person. We all know what you're going thru and how much you have on your plate. You love us just as much as we love you two. You guys are always on my mind and in all my prayers.
Hugs to you and Ed

Marie, what time is the screamfest? I'll just plan on lifting my voice in screaming prayer around 5pm. If I'm a bit early or late, I'll just scream a bit louder to make up for my mistake.
When you feel the vibration, just know my screaming prayer is sending powerful love your way, girl!
Lots of love, ma

Oh dear - so sorry to hear that Ed's back is so sore now. That does not help matters right now.

You just be strong and hold your back stiff against this new wind. Just grab on to your Mighty Oak and you will both come through this next round on your feet.

Yes, I guess there is a bit of the "mother" in me...

Marie,

You and Ed are in my prayers to put a stop to these brain mets! I'm sorry to hear of the newly found met, but it's good to know that the gamma knife seems to have worked on the others.
