worrisome update
Hello
Hema had her check up yesterday, ultrasound,chest PA X-Ray and MRI scan for the brain which wasadvised after the pET scan in June 2011.
First the good part.The chest xray finding normal study.The ultra siund report says one module is residual metastatis
Now the worrisome part and I want feedback from sisters who have had the esperience.The MRI scan shows that the lesion has incresed in size and is affecting the left ventriqular(?) nerve,The onc has advised radiation for the brain lesion.I am worried about that.The radiation is supposed to be for ten days continuously. The Onc refered Hema to a Radiologist Oncologist and the appointment is at 11 tomorrow.Hema's main problems now are haziness in the eyes glare and difficulty in reading.I am awaiting guidance from sisters with similar experience.
All the best
