Good news!

This morning's MRI showed that the tumor has not grown over the last 2 months - in fact, it seems to be a little bit smaller - at least based on a comparison of the before and after MRI's. The doctors are very pleased.

So....pending results of blood work, we will start on the next round of Temodar this evening. This course of the chemotherapy will be a bit different from the last: we will go 5 days at a much higher dose than we used before - and then we will break for 23 days. At the end of the 4 weeks, we will do another MRI and assess our progress. If all continues to go well, we will repeat the Temodar at yet a higher dosage in the 5 days on, 23 days off mode. This loop can be repeated for as long as the Temodar continues to be effective...
