MRI Results

It was before 8:00 in the morning when the radiation oncologist called with the results of yesterday's MRI. There is no new growth. Matter of fact, he said things even look a little better. I asked if cancer could present like that ... growing and then shrinking. "Not typically" was the answer, especially since there has been no treatment involved. "And what about scar tissue?" was of course my next question. "Sometimes." Don't you just love how clear this all is? Us too. But really, this is the best news we could have gotten. It's not the news we expected, which it makes it all the better and more incredible. Things need to be kept a close watch on, so another MRI will be scheduled for a couple of months down the road. In the meantime, we'll keep a close eye on things at home too.
