Two Steps Forward One Step Back

Our appointment with Dr. Nick went great. Scott and I agreed because of the walking it would be a good idea for him to be in his wheelchair. When Dr. Nick walked in he assumed Scott could not walk so when Scott stood from his wheelchair and walked across the room independently, Dr. Nick's face lit up. He told Scott how great he looked and was over all amazed. The cause of Scott's domino effect was just that a domino effect from small things that added up after a period of time. We are still going to go with our same game plan as before with the Avastin , Sorafenib and add a special cocktail of drugs along the way. Scott has gained 6 more lbs and he hasn't been home a week. Dr. Nick agreed that eventually the brain surgery had to be done, to help relax the brain. He was sorry that it was done under the circumstances it was. But, is pleased with the results. Dr. Nick wants a base line MRI and we will go from there.

We had an appt. for a MRI today and they thought as a safety precaution that a CT scan should be done first. The CT Scan shows by the skull cage a speck of metal. The metal has to be non ferrous or by placing Scott in an MRI can cause the metal to move slicing through the brain. The radiologist is trying to reach the surgeon. So we will have to wait......
