The date is 1-27-2020 and today was my 3rd MRI on the brain. We were hopeful that they would not see anything again, but that was just hopeful. I had 2 doctor appointments after the MRI to discuss the results, and they were now what we'd hoped for.
I have 3 tumors that showed up, 2 small and 1 large. The smaller ones they do not know what they are but the bigger one they said was cancer. They gave me the option of waiting 6 weeks to see if it is still there but if I did there was no guarantee it could be removed with the Gamma Knife, it may have grown too large. So we made the decision to go ahead with the surgery.
There are 3 doctors that must have an opening in order to run the machine, so a date has not been set yet. It will mean wearing that brace the screws into your skull. They numb you pretty good but you can feel the pressure and hear the bones in your skull being drilled into, it is scary. The real pain sets in afterward, for many days. I will update this again when it is done.
