I had a second post-radiation therapy MRI on June 23, and met with my radiation oncologist a week later to discuss the results. It wasn't the best possible report nor the worst possible report. Something shows up on the scan, but short of doing a brain biopsy, which is not recommended, only time will tell what is going on. Could be "pseudo-progression" (a.k.a. radiation debris), which would be a good thing, because over time that should disappear. Could also be tumor progression, which would not be a good thing. So the plan is to stay the course, continue on the temozolomide, and repeat the MRI, again, in two months.
I'm feeling about the same, no pain, still able to walk Larue twice a day. But the neuropathy is getting worse, affecting almost my whole right side (hand, arm, leg, foot). But, one has to learn to live with it. When I'm out I use a cane, but I use a walker when walking the dog.
We hired a lawn maintenance service to take care of the yard. I just can't handle the mowing anymore. Rain yesterday and today; summer, as usual, should arrive on July 5.
