Just a quick note to let everyone know about the results from Friday's MRI. This is a big one since gives us a read on if Proton Beam did much - well it did! it is barely there! it is down to 1/5th of what it was! We were told 2 MRI's is really the true read but this is great since we already see great results! It could be just residual radiation left over too at this point too. We can't know the true pathology of what is in there unless we did a biopsy - no thanks! It was way beyond Dr. Bell's expectations but spot on with mine :). She really was quite surprised. Now even she is giving us a bit of hope.
We are not NED but really, really happy with the results so far. Hopefully the next one will be better!
Finn had his 4 year old appt this AM which was fun. He is 4 and 1/2 but we at least got him there! It was great for the two of us to have a bit of one on one time. I took him while my mother watched Elan. In the car we drove by the neighbor's house having major remodeling. I pointed out the cement mixer and Finn said "back in the day is that what cement mixers looked like?" He then asked me "what was life like when everything was gray"? He was referring to black and white movies. He was releaved to find out it was just the movie and not reality.
Dr. Lye was as amazing as always. He really is such a great doctor and we feel the perfect one to handle our family right now. When we were in the hospital back in Feb he stopped by 6 or so times and stayed in the room and chatted for quite some time. He made sure to have whoever from the practice was at the hospital drop by to check in too. He did this off hours and has two small kids of his own. Such a kind heart!
