That's right, the Doctor is definitely on the mend. I just returned from a visit with the Radiation Oncologist. A review of last weeks MRI brought great news. What's left of my AN is little more than a small gray mass, compared to the nearly 5cm in diameter monster it used to be. I was complimented on my much improved appearance since we last met and Dr. McLaughlin continues to encourage me to push hard and stay positive.
My Brain Stem has nearly fully recovered its straight posture and the Brain has decompressed, filling in the space once occupied by Tumor. I do have some lingering issues like continuing poor balance and a bum left eye but like they say, its certainly better than the alternative.
CyberKnife Treatment after Translab De-Bulking Surgery appears to have worked for me. July 30th is the one year anniversary of my surgery...there will be a party that night...it's a Friday too, no school the next day!
Take Care!
Doc
