Stable Scan? Check!

Brain cancer is...

 ...stable.  Phew.

Darrell breezed through his MRI this morning, and the results were posted before we could make it to Panera to celebrate.

No, not tuna sandwich.  Salad.  Because cruise.
The findings, top image, indicate that Darrell's tumor/surgical site remains stable.  That's very important because when GBM progresses, it typically does so at the original tumor site.  Also, findings indicate that the brain muck is not as visible as in earlier scans.  Finally, the doctor who read the scan sees no new problems such as swelling or other brain changes.  Break here:  Happy dance.

Next up on the cancer list?  Dr. Park.  Then Darrell sees Dr. Cloughesy on Monday.  The UCLA visit always gives what we consider to be the final word.  Then we breathe deeply for three more months. 

One good thing about getting MRIs every three months:  Darrell keeps up on the newest trends in scan fashions. 

Disposable puffy shorts? Fashion game changers!  You're welcome.

On to the next.  Happy Hump Day, Team D.
