25 September Update

Gentle readers,


Our regular oncologist was away  so we saw another member of his practice today who gave us feedback on the current MRI, done 9/20/13.    The bottom line is that there has been significant progression (growths) in the brain since the last MRI at the beginning of August.Some of the abnormalities have grown and a couple new ones appeared.  Thankfully there is not a massive lump like the first beastie a couple of years ago.We have stopped the medical therapy (Avastin) as it had not done its job well enough.  What to do next is still up in the air pending discussions with my neurosurgeon and my regular oncologist.  We have recently learned of some very interesting therapies at Duke  and MD Anderson, but don’t know that they could be expected to apply to my case or not.  We’ll see.  I’ll just keep truckin’ along feeling reasonably good.  Next MRI probably in a couple months.  We're hanging in here ok and still of good spirits, as i hope you are too.Will let u know if we learn any thing of  substance.
