9 month Post CK MRI/Followup
« on: September 18, 2006, 01:27:49 pm »
Wanted to share the results of my 9 month post CK MRI/followup with you.

I got a good report,

the tumor is stable - hasn't grown!  Showing signs of necrosis.  This is what I most wanted to hear!  All is good.  Right according to schedule and I am happy girl!   :)  :)  :)

Will get another MRI in 6 months and will hopefully see more necrosis.   Dr. says not to expect shrinkage for awhile.  Fine with me - just want it to die.

Thank you ladies!  I appreciate your support!

Melinda,

I actually saw Dr. Kresl today. He is my Radiation Oncologist.  I won't see Dr. Daspit till sometime next year.  Depending on who orders your MRIs will probably determine how often/when you have them. Kresl orders mine - so I had my first followup at 3 months and this is my second followup at 9 months.  My next one will be 6 months from now and probably yearly after that.  If Daspit had been ordering them I think I would have had my first one at 6 months.
