Deb has completed her 6th cycle of chemotherapy and had a MRI scan (her 41st - the radiographer said she had never met anyone who had had 41 scans before) last Wednesday.
Today we saw Dr Mead. This was a very positive meeting. Not just because of the results of the scan were good (when comparing the scan from 3 months ago with the scan taken last week it appeared that the tumour size was identical) but more because of Dr Mead's tone and attitude. She was confident that Deb's tumour was not of the normal type of aggressive glioblastoma but was more slow growing and responding to treatment.The results of Deb's blood tests were good. We discussed how Deb had been during the last cycle of chemotherapy (the usual sickness and tiredness during the week of chemotherapy but a rapid recovery afterwards) and it was agreed that the treatment would continue for a further 6 months.
So far everything seems to be progressing well. Deb will have her next scan in 3 months time.
