A Fine MRI

Each Summer the kids and I have a dragonfly photo hunt in nearby Magnuson Park

Hi all,

Today’s MRI looked pretty decent. There are a few minor, small dots of contrast near the central tumor area which are likely to be lightly bleeding spots from the radiation therapy. Their size isn’t very major and thankfully other contrast areas aren’t showing growth since the prior MRI. One fairly common issue from Lomustine (my new chemo medication) is a reduction of platelets / white blood cells. Thankfully it’s not causing any physical symptoms but until the platelets come back up I’ll be running for exercise instead of dangerously skateboarding – one spec of sadness in a life that’s otherwise beyond expectations.

As for our entire planet, Covid-19 is causing significant issues for many. We’ve got you all in our thoughts and are wishing you good health and mental wellness. Hang in there, I’ll send another update after the next MRI in 8 weeks.
