We're Back!

For those of you still reading this, I'm so sorry for neglecting this lately. I think I've been avoiding it because I don't always like to face what I'm going through. : ) But I'm finally back and just wanted to give an update. Since my last post, I met with one of my doctor's and talked to my neurologist again on the phone for some follow-up questions. I was able to get some things answered and felt some peace after talking with both.

One question we had was why am I noticing changes if the MRI is showing no change. My neurologist explained again that their ability to measure with the MRI is not as good as my ability to feel. They believe the tumor is growing, it's just at such a small rate that they can't measure it with the MRI. We've known this all along, it's just something we need to remind ourselves of. He also met with my radiation oncologist and they are both on the same page now and believe that I should continue doing what I'm doing and wait until absolutely necessary to go through treatment.

We continue to do more research and are looking at setting up more appointments in the future. We also continue to just take one day at a time and wait patiently on God. That's all any of us can do. Continue to pray for peace to know when/if to go through treatment, which can shrink the tumor, but can also damage the healthy nerves that control vision, hearing, balance, etc.
