That's great news!! What a relief!!! Stress-relieving purrs are on
the way..... --Kim and Lucy On Fri, 20 Aug 2004 20:01:02 GMT, Tanada wrote: UPDATE: We finally got hold of Dr Ewend's secretary, who had Dr Ewend call us back. Dr Ewend was in surgery all day yesterday, so couldn't get hold of us, and we couldn't get hold of him. Anyway, the news is the best possible right now. The specialists (radiology pathologists specializing in brain tumors) agree with Dr Ewend that there is no signs that the tumor has grown. The recommended course now is to give Rob a course of large doses of temodar (I never spell this correctly) for a year, as a precaution to make sure the sucker is dead, nag at Rob to KEEP TAKING HIS MEDS, and keep in eye on him. After a year, or as long as he can tolerate the stuff, whichever comes first, Rob will be taken off the Temodar. We're still on MRIs every two to three months, and regular visits with the drs. I'm beginning to think I need to cross cross stitch a picture for them. I think now that the bad temper and inappropriate comments were because of stress and the steroids. Rob really doesn't remember saying any of those shocking comments or blowing up at anyone. I believe him. Rob has always admitted to any thing he's done, so long as he remembers it. Pam S. really relieved |

Many purrs to you all, and Nikki offers to come over with her sharp claws if Rob "forgets" to take his medicine. I told her he has quite enough klitty nurses around as it is. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

Yowie wrote in message ... Yay! Glad its good news. Stress and steroids are *not* a good combination. Steroids can make people very aggresive and short tempered whilst at the same time leaving htem feeling very empowered (after a long time of feeling like crap, you suddenly feel *great*). Occasionally Ihave to take prednisone because of my asthma, and its like I've got permanant PMS in mood, but feel like I could take on the world (which of course makes it worse) Yowie Now that didn't happen to me at all. When I was first diagnosed with asthma, and was put on a very high steroid dose to allow me to breathe, I felt on top of the world. I loved everyone, got three times as much work done as usual, and had a spotless house. I even alphatbetised my books and music. No aggression or temper. Jeanette |
