Good News, We Hope: OT, Probably Long, Boring and all the other warnings
We went up to see the Neurosurgeon, Dr Ewend, at UNC (Chapel Hill)
today, and he said that he doesn't think that Rob's tumor is coming back. However, they're having Rob's MRI films reviewed by a group of specialists this afternoon, and we'll find out what they say tomorrow. If they agree with Dr Ewend, Rob will be put back on a course of Temodar for as long as he can tolerate it, up to 12 months, just to make sure the stuff is good and dead. If they decide that it is warranted, a biopsy will be done to see if it is the same type of tumor as before, and chemo will be decided on based on the biopsy. Either way, it looks a lot better than we were afraid of. Your purrs, prayers, good thoughts, and blessings have struck again. Thank you everyone. Pam, Rob, and the Fayetteville Seven |
