bunny Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 my happiness at what I am about to post is tempered by my exhaustion and Pat's post about Bill. but because this place is the ultimate example of the circle of life, I will tell you that we got our "best case scenario" this afternoon. after a very long day - which included driving from Queens to NJ in a blizzard (with my brother) because the hospital SWORE we'd get MRI result around 8AM - we heard from the neurosurgeon (at 3:00PM) that there is no evidence of a mass or stroke underneath the blood on my mom's brain. we're so, so relieved. her onc even admitted to suspecting brain mets. her symptoms have not subsided but they will, as the blood (which is not increasing) dissipates. thankfully, they will continue to treat her medically (keeping the INR down, plus dilantin and decadron for safe keeping) and no surgery required. a big, huge PHEW on that front. so they finally gave her her first meal in more than 48 hours and I came home for the night. she'll be in the hospital for a few more days, but out of the progressive care unit tonight. I have no idea what the future holds for her and blood thinners and/or Tarceva, and frankly, I don't think the doctors do either. a day at a time, right? so thank you, a million times thank you, I felt your love and your prayers worked. xoxo bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail p-m Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Aime So glad to hear that things worked out well. I don't know if this helps or not but my dad was on Coumadin and Tarceva. At one point, he began to cough up some blood. The doctors agreed that Tarceva was the far more important of the two drugs so they discontinued Coumadin. Have a good sleep.. gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie221 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Bunny, Had a hint from another post I read that things were okay with Suki, but just got around to reading this post. WOOOHOOO! Such RELIEF!! Now get some rest and pampering and just shake it off for a while. Suki is in good hands. Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Well, once again I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I still feel the need to cut loose with a big ol' YEE-HAW! OK, so I'm not really a country girls, but in OK that's still a valid exclamatory response. So glad you guys got some good news. And so glad you shared it with us!

Don M Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Amie: I missed your earlier post when this latest trial occured. I am glad that Suki will be rcovering. What a scary thing.. So, I guess Suki has to choose either Tarceva or blood thinners. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
