My brain MRI-clean

I wanted to share with everyone my brain MRI is clean! We didn't expect to find anything but I wanted to be sure and my oncologist didn't have a problem with ordering one. I also had an eye exam upon his request-lots of blurred vision on the Tykerb/Xeloda. Some days I cannot finish reading the morning paper or read it at all. The exam showed very little change in vision, also the one cataract in my right eye is about the same. He also told me out of all the patients he see thats been on chemo or is in chemo, he has seen only one tumor of the eye. Thought I would share this piece of info. Hugs, Sandy

I am glad to hear your good news! I am having an MRI next week, just for peace of mind. I had a few headaches, but I am pretty sure they are allergy related, because they have actually subsided. Again, I am really excited to hear your good news.
