MRI preliminary results

Nolan with his radiation oncologist Dr. Natia

Well, I have some good news!! Everything is still preliminary, the doctors will look over all the scans and compare them to the last one but everything has improved.  The main tumor that we were most concerned about (the one that was located in his upper spine) has shrunk by approximately 50% and there was three small tumors in his brain that looked stable or improved.  Dr. Natia's said, she is very pleased and the radiation will continue to work over months to continue to shrink the tumors.  I can't tell you how relieved we all are.  I still need to talk to Dr. Aguilera, Nolan did a research study on diffusion of the spine.  We are all hoping that this will be beneficial in seeing things that are normally hard to see on MRI's, Dr. Aguilera is also hoping that it will help her in being able to define what is scar tissue, tumor and what is radiation changes.  Thank you so much for praying so hard for my little boy!
I will update as soon as I have more details.
