marym Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Hi All, Just got the results of my brain Pet scan. The area suspected as necrosis is just that - but unfortunately there is another small met. They have scheduled stereotactic surgery for 4/13. I'm really bummed, but I remind myself that it could be a lot worse. They'll do an MRI the day before just to be certain, but he feels confident that the diagnosis is correct. I just hope this isn't something I need to do every so many months (I had it originally in July). Mary Quote
Don Wood Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Sounds like good news and a plan in place. My best to you, Mary. Don Quote
karen335 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Mary, Are you able to have surgery to remove necrosis/met? I just had surgery 6 weeks ago for the same thing. This was my 2nd surgery.. Waiting til healed then will have SRS to tumor bed... Please keep us posted... Prayers and hugs, karen Quote
pammie Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 So very thankful Mary that it is only one new one. That is a blessing. Will be praying for you. pammie Quote
michelepal Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Mary, You right it could be worse so stay positive and I'm sure everthing is going to go fine.. Michel Quote
Carleen Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Big Hugs for you Mary ((((HUGS)))) I know how disappointing it is going into these appointments full of hope and not hearing exactly what you were hoping for. But, the fact the the stereostatic Radiosurgery worked last time on your mets if very promising, and I pray that it knocks this new little bugger into outer space. Lift your heart and voice to heaven, and God shall show you through this. Quote
kamataca Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Ah, nuts...I'm sure you didnt want to hear about another met. I'm hoping they can go in and take care of the little bugger. Take good care of yourself and keep us posted! Kelly Quote
Don M Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I hope your treatment goes well Mary. I have heard that brain mets can pop up for a while, and eventually not come back for a long time. Don M Quote
J.C. Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Mary, Prayers will be with you on the 4/13 to get the small met out. Hugs Jackie Quote
