I met with Dr. Weyburn yesterday to review the results of my Tuesday MRI.  The reoccurring tumor has again grown in size and an additional mass, apparently a new glioma, has developed near the corpus callosum.  (Google it.) Neither of these tumors is directly adjacent to the cavity from the surgery two years ago.  Dr. Weyburn said that he did not think additional radiation would be possible, and, given the placement of the tumors, thought additional surgery at this point would also be unlikely.

He suggested I consider starting back on chemotherapy. He mentioned Temodar, but commented that other chemo options exist.  We agreed I should see a neuro oncologist soon for a second opinion on treatment and next steps.  I am not inclined to go through chemotherapy again.  I am planning some time away in Florida this winter and to England with my sister next May.  I don’t plan that tumors or treatment will change my priorities.  

 Thanks for your interest.  Love you.
