gerbil runner Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Mom went in for her scans today, and...the brain mets are much much smaller, and no evidence of cancer anywhere else! So, what's going on? It looks like adrenal insufficiency, caused by steroid withdrawal, and possibly complicated by the horrible cold Mom had a week and a half ago. If so, it's very treatable and Mom should feel much better in a couple of days. I'm waiting to hear from Dad as to the final results, but Mom will be home tonight. I'm going up to visit with her this evening. Will update later. Thanks for all your positive thoughts and prayers. Quote
Addie Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Great news, Jen. Keeping everything crossed until you get the final results...but sounds like things are definitely going in the right direction again. Keep us posted...hugs to you and Mom! Quote
Remembering Dave Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 wow, that sounds very encouraging, thanks for a positive update! Karen Quote
Ry Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Oh good...I am glad things are turning around for her. Quote
TAnn Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 What a relief. Glad to hear she's doing better and is treatable. TAnn Quote
