Well here are the results of the latest MRI. Part of the effected area has no change, which is good. Even though the tumor is still there, it's not growing. The problem is it's spreading in the brain. So overall, the chemotherapy is not working. The decision was made today to stop the current chemo treatment as of right now. Why risk side effects for no chance of a cure. Radiation seems to be ruled out and additional surgery was ruled out last year. The best hope at this point is still chemotherapy. The doctor said he had some ideas for a newer, more aggressive type of chemotherapy. His plan is to discuss it with the other doctors in his office, as well as Maries doctor at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
It's really a positive that doctor in different cities are willing to work together to help a patient in need. We should hear something by Friday.
