"Dramatic decrease in edema and enhancement"

MRI reports: "Dramatic decrease in edema and enhancement" and "findings consistent with substantial response to therapy." So.. great news that the chemo appears to be keeping the tumor from growing or spreading. Dr. Congdon and I both congratulated each other after he read us the report. Pam an Sherri said it was very cute and wish they could have gotten a photo of us shaking hands. In the final report "Impression", there is a area of enhancement in the "Left centrum semiovale" which the report and the Oncologist say is probably related to post therapy changes. We do trust their opinions and believe that they have seen enough post therapy changes to give an accurate determination.

We will continue with 4 more treatments over the next 2 months and continue to moniter! So, keep thinking.." "Dramatic decrease in edema and enhancement"!

Love to ALL!

Richard
