Dave had another good day. He was up around 11 am sitting out on the front deck. He had an appointment with the radiation oncologist today. Looking through the brain MRI results again. Only 1 tumor now visible in scan from May. Decision made to get another MRI at the end of this month. MD feels Dave is finally in an upswing and although he can have the targeted radiation surgery to any tumors left, he thought Dave should enjoy life a little (a great concept). But we will keep an eye on the tumors with MRIs, if they start to increase or he has symptoms that will be time to re-evaluate for the procedure. He did say there are very little side effects. That makes me feel better... there's an option if or when the tumor(s) start to grow again. Dave also can have some more lung radiation if needed. All and all, it was great news.
Dave took a nap when we got home and we had a late dinner. He ate the rest of his spaghetti from the other night and some beans from the garden. Not gonna count them today..... but he did well. My guy's appetite is coming back.
Dave's scheduled for an infusion tomorrow. His BP is starting to run high, I think we'll be done with that very soon. 2 weeks to next oncologist appointment- will look at CT scan results (get them next week) and look at the plan. That day is the one year anniversary of Dave's diagnosis. What a year it has been. What an amazing CW Dave is.
peace, love, groove.
You don't need an MRI to tell he is doing better. This is a path you know well now and you are on top of it. It is time for all of us to enjoy life a little and having Dave with us makes that special. look forward to the music coming back too. Life is good.
