I had a MRI the 16 and the preliminary results look good. The next step is for the doctors to meet at the tumor board. It’s a big meeting where all the specialists present all of the neuro cases. My scan was review by the radiologist and all of the experts and the outcome is that they recommend I continue treatment with the Avastin only. No more CPT11 chemo. That sounds terrific in theory but for me it is really frightening. Going off the treatment that has prevented more growth is numbing. I am relieved to hear the board still recommends the Avastin. It’s been a year with the combination of drugs ever other weekend. Every other weekend lying around feeling terrible, depressed and nauseous. Not to mention I have to schedule EVERYTHING in my life. I have missed so much this year.
T and I will talk to my oncologist Friday to get more information.
