the end of 2008

Home from the surgery in Houston and everything seemed to be good. No new deficits or any other adverse condition. We needed to do two followup appointments. The first was to our surgeon in Omaha, who removed the stitches and checked the incision. The second was to our radiation oncologist, in Omaha, to discuss the possibility of whole brain radiation, to reduce the chances of recurrence. He was opposed to more radiation at this time, and it was the radiation oncologist that ordered the followup MRI for the end of the year.
