There's a lot to talk about in this update. Please read the last entry to help understand this one.
My last MRI showed a spot that, when compared to the previous MRI, was growing a bit. If you look at the picture below, my original tumor was in the right frontal lobe and is stable and doing well, meaning, no changes since it was removed.
The new spot is in the pons area of the brain stem. It is relatively small, but it is slowly getting bigger.

The Tumor Board met on Monday and the consensus is that the spot is similar to the original tumor, meaning that it consists of slow growing, medium grade cancer cells. (To be clear, a group of cancer cells is referred to as 'tumor' even if it does not have 'mass'. For now, this area of cancer cells has no 'mass', but they 'light up' during the MRI.)
The Board recommended radiation and possibly chemo, just like before. The final recommendation will come after we have a conference call on Tuesday.
We may opt to do a low radiation approach, or a cyber-knife approach, depending on previous radiation 'maps'. Stay tuned for the final decision.
Thank you all for praying with us during this new adventure. As you know, God is my Father and He knows exactly what He'd like us to do. He may tell us to do nothing and trust Him. Or, He may ask us to heed the doctor's advice, or, whatever, and trust Him. He is my Healer and we'll do exactly what He leads us to do.
Check in with me around Tuesday evening and I'll have more information for you. :)
