Forgive me please for being late with this posting. This photo is from the MRI on May 28 at
Evanston Hospital. Dr. Paleologos agreed
that some of the white mass is probably remaining tumor near the speech center. She is not able to say how much of the mass might
be radiation scarring. Dr. Bugno, my
radiation oncologist, has also reviewed the scan. He thinks the relative consistency from one
image to the next is a good sign, in that it doesn’t suggest the need for more
treatment immediately.
With the advice of other doctors and members of the Brain
Tumor Support Group, I am exploring other neuro-oncologists that come highly
recommended. I hope to set up meetings
in July and August to see if we might make a good team. I want to stay in the Chicago area at a
research/teaching hospital with a strong commitment to neuro-oncology. I would welcome your input. Meanwhile, I have set an early September
appt. for my next MRI at Evanston. I am
uncertain with whom I will meet to sort out the details.
