Fay A. Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 What a relief. It also shows that there are some very large air spaces. The Meningioma has grown only a very little bit, so I'll finish up the chemo (2 more cycles to go), repeat the MRI in 6 months, and then the Meningioma will be removed. I think I'm stuck with the large air spaces though... Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Gina, Until I read your response I didn't realize how my post might appear to others. I want to apologize to anyone who may have been upset in any way. I have this brain tumor that the docs are calling a Meningioma. They seem to be convinced that it isn't related to the Lung Cancer. But it's always at the back of my mind , "How can they be certain that it isn't another slow growing malignancy?" I've asked the docs this question, and they tell me they can't be sure until it's removed. It's there in my head, and it has doubled in size over the past 2 years. It's a bit stressful knowing it's there, knowing where it is, knowing it's growing. And the way I handle stress is to try to reduce the problem to something I can laugh about. I was just relieved that the MRI showed only slight growth. Once again, I'm sorry if I caused anyone any distress. It was thoughtless, and I'll try to be more careful how I word things. Fay A.

Tiny Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Fay, We LOVE your sense of humor...no harm done. Thanks for explaining about the Meningioma; I was all set to request info. May your "air spaces" remain stable and your tumor be annihaliated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina D. Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Fay! I was not offended at all. I thought it was funny the way you put it in your title! Worry not. I am not familiar with how the brain mets work, so I apologise if I inedvertantly made a bad joke myself without understanding what you were saying.
