The brain lesions seem to be stable for now the gamma-knife (one day on same day of other radiation in December) done some good The MRI on the 8th of March was good report

MRI Impression: Decreased size of the previously noted right temporal and frontotemporal metastatic lesions with resolution of surrounding vasogenic edema consistent with posttreatment changes. No new or enlarging intracranial metastatic lesions are identified.

to be repeated on June 7th

The last 19 days of radiation was wasted time and effort i feel as all the lymph node tumors are growing in the chest area - its a mess bursting open draining - others are growing in side and the one on right shoulder blade still large - not sure if growing or not but has not busted open so far guess that is a good sign the small one at the clavicle/neck area has grown and looks as if can bust open. The one on the big one that was on the left arm above elbow decreased in size hut has erupted again as there is a nickel to quarter grow in it again - must of missed that area with the radiation The Ct's of the 21st confirmed

CT Neck and Nasopharynx IMPRESSION:
1. Progressive nodal, cutaneous/subcutaneous, osseous and myofascial metastatic disease, as detailed.
2. The previously described intracranial disease has improved,correlating to the 3/8/2022 MRI brain.

Chest CT IMPRESSION:
1. Interval increase in neoplastic disease burden with increased size of multiple masses and nodules of the anterior chest wall, right upper extremity, mediastinum, and to a lesser extent bilateral lungs.Associated worsening osseous erosion of the sternum and left first and second ribs.

Picked up the Capecitabine (Xeloda) on 21st in case start 3rd round of it - but was told to hold off till called pending full reading of the CT's - called yesterday morning and told not to start it 🙁

Dr. is looking into options and a possible clinical study but did not seem likely -

Me I am hanging in - friend and I got the one biggest eyesore - project down and not out of the way yet it was an aluminum semi reefer its been an immense challenge it was up on blocks not wheels/axles under it and less than 3 feet from the pole barn/garage - but it fully down on the ground without doing damage to the pole barn/garage

My bed arrived on the 17th of March finally was to been delivered on the 28th of Feb but had to be in Indy for the follow-up of the 1st round of chemo pills and pick up 3 the 2nd round

Keep plugging along - been raining, damp and today is on chilly side and to be colder as the rest of week progresses but work as can out doors on stuff cleaning up - can not give up on it Can not afford to hire it done and whoever walk off with all the scrape & money from it - at times wonder if it is worth all the effort but has paid for the clean-up appliances and other things

I have ordered the "bunkie boards" for the slats are to wide apart - the "bunkie boards" will go on top horizontal - got grass seed coming - got to find some erosion mats to cover it when planted.

Taxes are done and written out to send on on April 15th did not have much left - but that is the way it goes - Bobcat been down since Sept 23rd and had to buy new motor and other things for it - but it is the only thing we have to push, dig, haul etc with.

Just tying my best and to stay positive. Wishing that a pot of gold will show up hahahahahahaha
