We got the written results of the MRI from January 6th. They show that there are no new lesions or edemas (yeah!). They also show that the old lesions are roughly the same size (6x3 vs 5x4). While we wanted them all to be gone, we must remember that this MRI was taken on day 10 of the radiation.
Radiation is a cumulative process and therefore the last 10 days (and even beyond) have more effect than the first 10 days. We get another MRI next week and are hopeful of a completely clean slate!
We see Dr Forman on Thursday and we will post anything we hear after.
As always, thanks

That is such wonderful news! I remember that radiation hit me for a while after I finished, I thought I would be better as soon as it was over but then realized it was the hardest couple weeks. Be gentle and patient with yourself Tia, you've been through a lot. You are a warrior!
