New scan results (Oct 17th, 19th)

I had a MUGGAscan done on the 17th and an MRI of brain done  and also a PETscan done on the 19th.  The PETscan shows the bone cancer has not changed.  The MRI shows that the brain cancer has progressed.  Originally it was between my skull and brain.  Now it has permeated the interior of the brain and the tumor size has increased.   My equilibrium is off due to the pressure in my brain and have started taking steroids again and its definitely helped my balance.  I also had an ultra sound and they found a polyp on my uterus.  So i'm waiting for insurance to confirm payment and if they do i will have an endometriosis biopsy.  Lotsa stuff goin on.  I'm going to ask DR. Cavalcant about clinical trials tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Thats the story from Spring Circle.  Hope everyone is well!!

    Wow, just when I think you've dealt with enough, something new comes up. I know you will get through this just like you have every other obstacle you've come up against, just sorry you have to deal with this.

    Hang in there, kid. I know you've got it in you to beat this.

    Love
    Linda
