MRI Update

[RoxMonster]

Well my FIL's MRI results aren't great but aren't terrible. He still has some brain swelling, which probably led to the episodes he had been having.

The doctor did think there was some cancer coming back. She said they were small nodules, and overall was positive. They're going to start him on a stronger chemo treatment (IV drip vs. the pills he had been taking) and he's going back to the hospital where he had his brain surgery for another opinion as well. The doctor said he looked great and his body was responding well to treatments, that it could be much worse.

So overall, the news is cautiously optimistic. Still some cancer there, but could be a lot worse. MIL said they were terrified they'd walk in and basically be told to get their affairs in order, and it was nothing like that. So fingers crossed the new treatment works!

I am glad that the news isn't as bad as it could be.  Thinking of your family, and hopefully the new treatment works.  ::hugs::
