Gamma Knife Monday
I seem to have a stubborn little tumor that just refuses to give up! The original lesion in my cerebellum that was found in Jan 2006, and was treated via X-knife, then regrew and was surgically removed in March of this year at Cedars-Sinai.
Well, in early August I felt some pressure in my cerebellum again, and the MRI showed a speck that was under 1mm. Follow-up MRI on the 14th of Sept. showed it to be 2 mm now. This is considered a recurrence of the same lesion in the cerebellum.
I am so sensitive that I can feel the 2 mm lesion and it is making me nauseas. So I will have Gamma Knife done at Cedars-Sinai on Monday the 24th of Sept.
I'd appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts that this procedure will once and for all decimate this stubborn little brain mets lesion.
I've been on Tykerb and Xeloda for about 4 months now, does this mean that they are not working for me? Or does it take longer to see the results?
