8 years since brain mets ... and counting
Hello everyone -
I just spent a good share of today at my medical center having a brain MRI and then seeing my doctor for the result. (Not to mention some waiting around as they were super busy and running late today!) So, good news once again. No new spots or problems with the old places. I did have a year or two with some complications after my initial gamma knife (see signature), but it all levelled out and has been a dull routine since the end of 2006. At this juncture they see me every 8 months, but I lobbied to get it pushed to 10 months before the next screening. (Hope the tumor board will agree.) Since I have quarterly blood draws and am otherwise followed, I think that is a reasonable interim. So, for those of you going through or close to treatment for brain mets, it should get better with a little more time. That is my wish for each and every one of you. |

Re: 8 years since brain mets ... and counting
Great news StephN! I too just had check-ups and got the all clear. So that makes me 8 yrs out from liver mets!
I was wondering how often they did scans on you now. I finally talked MDAnderson into every 6 mos. I've been on that schedule for about 1.5 years. Maybe after the next check-up I'll ask for 8 mos. Thanks for sharing your great news! |
