September 4th, 2008
Jace had his MRI today. We met with our Oncologist on Tuesday and everything seems to look really good. We have gone ahead and started the heavy round of Temazolamide chemo this week. He seems to be handling it really well even though it is such a large dose.
The MRI results were as we expected. There is no change in the slides at all from right before we left for Houston. Though we knew there would be little or no change, its still hard to process sometimes. Its the hurry up and wait game we continue to play. This MRI, though it doesnt tell us much, does tell us there is nothing new. His spine is clean and the brain is exactly the same as before. The spot that they think could be recurrance is still there, however it has not changed AT ALL. This could mean nothing and this could mean everything.
They are still not 100% sure that it is recurrance and we only pray that it is scar tissue as we hoped before radiation. When Josh asked the Dr if it “could” be scar tissue, the Dr said he has seen it happen before. We can only hope and believe for the next 4 weeks that this is what it is.
The plan right now is to wait another 4 weeks and do another MRI that will hopefully tell us more. I will keep you updated as the weeks go by on Jace and sorry it has taken me so long to update this time.
We are GLAD to be home and back to “as normal as can be.”
God Bless you all and thank you for your continued prayers!
Joshua, Jamie and Jace
