I had a CT of the brain on February 14th which showed a new finding in the left occipital lobe (lower/back side of brain). The lesion is very small at 9mm. My doctor sent the CD to my radiation oncologist at UCLA. After they spoke, they both agreed that it will be better to wait and get another scan before making any decisions.
My next treatment is on March 21st. Before that appointment I will have another CT of the brain as well as a whole body PET scan.
We are doing alright with this. Still processing a little bit, bummed out, but also grateful for the long period of time (over a year) of clear scans. Also, this is treatable. When the time is right, I will most like have stereotactic radiation to the tumor site, which is a single dose radiation treatment.
Please keep in prayer that there won't be any new lesions anywhere else.
Hugs.
Shannon
