We got the results to another MRI this morning. Basically it was the same thing. This MRI is showing slight growth from the last one. The growth is about 1mm, so the doctor says that statistically speaking, he would think that it was, again, caused by a cut in the scan. He's thinking that it's scar tissue caused from radiation last year. But he's definitely more concerned this time.
If it is re-growth, it is slow-growing. They don't want to wait for the tumor to get big again to do surgery, but we would probably be looking at another surgery sometime in the spring. And we would probably start to look heavily at experimental treatment options. But that is IF it is re-growth. So I guess we make it through the holidays trying not to worry. The next scan is the first part of January, so we'll try to enjoy the holiday season as if things are normal. Jared says he's frustrated not to have definite answers, but I will accept this as good news. Uncertainty, in my opinion, is better than definite horrible news. So I'll take it! Happy Birthday to me! :)
