This is a follow up from my last post. It took 7 weeks to get a new MRI and the scan was good. No growth. They were concerned that because she had a seizure, that could be a sign of cancer growth. Her neurologist said that anti seizure meds can stop seizures only 70% of the time and two medications together can stop them 80% of the time but you can't get 100% with medication. She mostly has auras once every couple of weeks and the auras and the one seizure are usually at night. Good news all together.
Her oncologist was very up front this time for some reason. She said it is not if the cancer will come back but when. But... it will be caught early and there are many things that can be done to shrink or remove the regrowth. She has a very short scan schedule set up for her. Every 2 to 3 months. I suppose 3 years is an average time for recurrence after surgery but I don't know.
I know if you had 1000 people with the same tumor characteristics you will have 1000 different outcomes. This type of cancer is very individual and it depends on where it is and how old you are and how much was removed on the first surgery.
There are new treatments since 2020 that are very promising and the survival rate is going up all the time.
There are many encouraging things happening these days. Over all I am learning not to worry but to trust God has a plan for all of this that is way more than I will ever understand.
My wife has a much better attitude than I do and I need to learn from her.
