MRI Update---Brain mets

[Esther]

I went in to Cedars-Sinai today for my first MRI post my March 5 Gamma Knife for a 4mm lesion in my frontal lobe, and fractionated radiation treatments that ended April 15 for a 1mm lesion in my brain stem, as well as the surgery on March 7 to remove a lesion in my cerebellum.

Whew....I was ready for some good news, though not so sure what to expect as the X-Knife I had last year on the lesion on my cerebellum did not work, making surgery necessary this year.

I just received a call from the neuro-surgeons office, the lesion on my frontal lobe is gone! The lesion on my brain stem is gone! The area around my surgery in the cerebellum shows all healthy tissue, and no new lesions anywhere!

I wonder if the Tykerb gave the treatments a kick to produce better results so quickly!!! I am so excited, this is beyond what I was hoping for! So for now, my brain mets are NED!!!! Yahoo!!!
