MRI results

  I Got a call from Dr. Aguilera this afternoon. Let's just say  Nolan's MRI's are very hard to read but we pretty much got good stable news.  The tumors in his brain are stable and actually showing some improvement :-) Some of the tumors in his brain are just stable and some are not as bright as they once were.  The spinal tumor....The one that likes to give us all the problems is looking different.  The radiation oncologist looked at it and said it looks like radiation changes to her....
Nolan is 8 months post radiation and he is right at that peak time where the radiation is at its highest then it will start coming down.  This can cause a lot of inflammation in and around the tumor.  From what I've been told? I just dislike the word "radiation changes"   What we have decided is to do MRI's every 2 months instead of every 3 months to keep a closer eye on everything.  Nolan goes into clinic tomorrow for us to go over all the images of his MRI and to discuss it more.  If anything changes I will be sure to post but Nolan is doing fantastic!!!!!!!!!
He Has just been so full of energy and smiles lately and that's what we like to see :-)
Thank you for continuing to pray for him!!
