Lisa O Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Joe had surgery on the mass in his brain on Thursday. It was determined to be a mucinous metastasis. The surgeon was able to remove the entire mass and placed chemo wafers around the area. He has no neurologic deficit except for a (hopefully temporary) minor loss of peripheral vision at the bottom of his left eye. He is in great spirits. He is going down to 2 mg decadron from 4 and has only minor pain. He has been told that the chemo wafers should be all of the treatment he needs and that he does not have to go through radiation at this time. I am praying he is finished with this episode.
