On Tuesday I went down to Redwood City to have my post-surgical MRI and follow-up exam with the neurosurgeon, Dr. Lavery.
Unfortunately, the scan was not the nice clear image I had hoped for. A small mass is still visible where the last tumor was removed.
So now I'm about to have a radiation procedure called "Cyberknife"' wherein a robotic arm will be programmed to zap that one little spot with multiple beams of radiation. This requires me to go back to Redwood city for another MRI and then to south San Francisco to consult with Dr. Gills next week, with the treatments beginning the following week. To me, one of the worst things about this is I'll have to go back on that awful steroid, Decadron.
I'm trying to be a good sport,, but this latest news really has me down. It doesn't help that I've come down with a cold.
