We had a somewhat long day at the doctors yesterday, follow up with the neuro-oncologist at 3pm, blood draw and pharmacy right after that, then we were late to the 4 o’clock appointment for a CT scan simulation.
The news is that the clinical trial she was qualified for is now closed due to funding and low success rate. So, now it is back to just the standard treatment of radiation and chemotherapy. They (the doctors) have a lot of confidence in the standard treatments, so that’s a positive.
The Dexamethasone seems to be helping keep the swelling down and the headaches to a minimal. She is back to normal-ish, walking the dogs and feeding them.
She is going to try to do another thing everyday and try to get back to normalcy.
Christina is at Moore’s Cancer Center in La Jolla getting her “baseline” MRI done. They just took her back – should be 45 to 60 minutes before she’s done…
Results: According to the neuro-oncologist — no significant changes… sweeeeet!
We call the oncologist yesterday and he upped the dosage of Decadron a lot until we see him on Tuesday. She seems to be doing better this morning. We will see as the day goes on.
Please keep praying, thanks!
She is feeling very head-achy today.
Staples have been removed and the wound is healing despite her picking at it!
