Good news
Well I can drop some of my meds and a few meds I only have a few last dosages to take. That is good news for me. Then I can start cleansing by body. I get to drop my steroids by half on Monday. Down to 2 mg once a day.
The MRI of my brain confirms that the tumor was enlarged because of radiation necrosis. It has decreased in from 2.1 cm x 2.6 cm to 1.8 cm x 1.8 cm. My doctor and I are very happy with the news.
So my main job right now is to build up my muscles. The steroids is what is causing my muscle deteriation, leg and upper body weakness. More walking and building up some muscle. When my mouth feels better maybe protein will be more of an option. Right now everything is still too dry - bread, meat, etc. Fruit is good and soup but I need to watch that I don't take in too many non-starching things that may cause bad bowels again.
So we are on the mend. I had a bone scan today and will get the results on Monday.
Time to go.
Love to everyone.

Long time no speak, so sorry Carolin but I see you have been very busy as usual, we think of you often, I had two breast Cancer tattoos done recently I will get up there to show you, one is dedicated to you and I tell everyone who asks about it. I wanted to come and see you in hospital, but as usual other things came my way, we've had visitors from England. I never seem to get 5 minutes to myself. I was thinking of you though and my thoughts and prayers are always with you and the family.
Love Tam X
