An Update





Ice storm yesterday & today. I have to stay in despite the
need of Beauty Aides. LOL
***********

I talked to my primary care doctor, my oncologist, the doctor at the Gamma Knife Center..and got my reports (not films) of all my MRI's. We have decided to have another MRI in 6 weeks.
I am comfortable with that.. and I can always call the doctor, if I get more symptoms.
(headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, etc.)

So for now..I'm going to take a small dose Decadron daily to reduce swelling in my head. (it's a steriod. UGH) I hope to have better news in 6 weeks.

Keep praying (for ALL who need it) and I will too. God is in charge.

    I pray that those symptoms stay away.. Praying that the news you receive in 6 weeks will be much better news..

    I have you and Penny in my prayers..

  11. It really sounds like a great plan. Wish everything will go great and none of the symptoms will disturb you.

    As for the weather, I wish I could stay in too. Had to go to office with -29C outside.
