Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Dear Barbara, Please accept my belated, but very sincere, appreciation for your words of wisdom, empathy, and (usual) eloquence. You are one of the most erudite list members. Thank you for your constant posting of excellent research material. I know that you have helped, in particular, our newer members, as they start to gather the information they so sorely need. Have you gotten any encouraging words from the physicians who are watching your brain tumor? I wish you all good things. Gratefully, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Barbara, Please know that I'll be thinking of you today as you venture into another realm of the medical world. You are incredibly brave and I am sure that inside, you don't feel that way. We are here for you and hope you will always remember that. Please let us know how your appointments go. With Love and Hugs! Alice Re: What My Neurologist Said, and What My Family Didn't Say Thank you for those kinds words, friend. As for the brain tumor, tomorrow I see a new neurologist, so we'll see what he says. We're hoping to schedule gamma knife to halt the growth, but have been waiting because the mito needs to be more stable before attempting radiation. Right now we are treating the mito with a combinatin of K- Phos Neutral and creatine chelated with magnesium and that combo definitely seems to be helping. If the mito holds steady for a while, I think we will feel brave enough to attempt gamma knife. I am feeling quite cheerful these days and not so overwhelmed. My doc trip tomorrow will be the first time out of the house since March! Can't remember when I've gone that long without seeing one doc or another, so that's a good sign actually. Grace and peace to you and yours, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
