Medical Update

I stopped by the lab this morning and got copies of the MRI and CT scans. It is sort of a good news bad news situation.

First the bad news. The parasites in my head are getting larger. The largest one before was 1.2 cm and it now 1.8 x 1 cm. That is why the radio oncologist wants to start radiation therapy on Monday.

The good news part is the results of the CT scan. The tumor was gone from 2.4 x 3.4 cm to 1.9 x 2.6 cm. That’s roughly a 20 percent decrease in size.

In general I am feeling better.

UPDATE: I called the radio oncologist’s office and the earliest they could schedule me is 13:00 on Wednesday. That’s going to conflict with my appointment with my other oncologist.

Argh! I should have made the appointment a few days ago. More and more I’m convinced my radio oncologist is a second born or lower.
