progress

After two weeks in the recliner fighting nausea I went back to the radiologist to see if things were getting worse.
They are not.
I had a cat scan and the tumor on the brain continues to be the size of a quarter but that seems be expected. Dr. said it takes a long time for those things to grow and a long time for them to sluff off. Because of my age and all the stuff that has been going on for the last three months he feels I am going to be slow in recovery. At any rate, the tumor is not growing and he feels that mother nature will take care of things so that I do not have to have the cyberknife treatment as now. He thinks the nausea is due to swelling around the tumor in the brain.....sooooooooooooo..........back on steroids! Sounds good to me. Because I have been too nauseated to do much my strength and equilibrium have dimiished, so as soon as I am up to it I hope to begin walking at least to the end of the block. I just finished some oatmeal and it sure was good! Sunshine helps too! I am hopeful again.
