Good news - brain ned
Just wanted to post this reply from my oncologist, to encourage others...
Re: Brain MRI results from Sunday?
"I just looked it up. Jut read this morning and says that it is negative with no abnormal areas. Yeah!"
Yay is right!

December '13 BRAIN MRI ned in da head.
Jan 2014: CONTINUING on HAPX…
FEB 2014 PetCT clinical “impression”: 1. newbie nodule - SUV 1.5 right apical nodule, mildly hypermetabolic “suggestive” of worsening neoplastic lesion. 2. moderate worsening of the sternum – SUV 5.6 from 3.8
3. increasing sclerosis & decreasing activity of L1 met “suggests” mild healing. (SUV 9.4 v 12.1 in May ‘13)
4. scattered lung nodules, up to 5mm in size = stable, no increased activity
5. other small scattered sclerotic lesions, one in right iliac and one in thoracic vertebral body similar in appearance to L1 without PET activity and not clearly pathologic

Great news, Flori!
I'm inspired by your successful treatment as I go in
for Novalis to zap the 4mm spot on my left lobe tomorrow morning.
I have high hopes to report good news in the upcoming days~
