No Appreciable Change
Brain cancer is...
...holding steady.
The radiologist's report for this week's MRI scan posted this morning at 6:57. Because, in GBM, any cancer cell growth most often occurs at the site of the original tumor, it's very good news that there is no change at the site of the "left frontal mass resection." Yay!
The mucky pancake (aka "1.2 cm T2 hyperintense focus") is, of course, the spot of most interest given both its uncertain composition and how much recent attention it has drawn from Darrell's physicians. Good news. The report notes mucky pancake, too, "is not appreciably changed" since the September scan. Phew!
That's all the radiologist can say: that the spot hasn't changed in size or in the degree of enhancement over the last two months. Now we carry the scans to UCLA for Dr. Cloughesy to examine. The thinner slice size (akin to higher resolution in photography) may give him more information about the possible nature of the spot. In any case, probably the 1-mm slice size will be Darrell's new normal setting for future MRIs to allow for continued comparisons over time.
Thank you all for your concerns, says Darrell.
