Wow. We're soaring high with good news and knew that you devoted friends (bloggers) would like to hear it.
Yesterday's MRI at Cedars Sinai showed that the tumor has reduced in size approximately by 1/2 since the December MRI. Since I'm visual and to put it in to perspective, originally the tumor was the size of a golf ball and now it's the size of a plump, cherry tomato. Needless to say, we are overjoyed and grateful to this treatment plan for brain cancer of Avastin and CPT 11. Gary has had 9 chemo treatments so far.
More good news. The chemo schedule is being rescheduled from 2 weeks to every 3 weeks and the chemo dosage is being reduced by 20%.
More good news. Gary's anti seizure drugs are also being reduced which will help him immensely to have a better quality of life.
More good news. Gary has been blessed with Home Health Care Physical Therapy since we've been in the desert. They said he's doing too well for this to continue and will have to go to outpatient therapy. He's walking much better, but still needs a partner next to his left side. He's going to try driving a golf cart, but have to be very careful of his left vision deficit and peripheral vision. I've enlisted a buddy to help with this driving task.....
Thanks for caring. Thanks for the prayers. They are working.
