We got Trip’s MRI results today at his appointment. The MRI is stable. There is a possibility that the lesions that were affecting the brain matter are no longer there OR the radiologist missed them. (I realize what a huge difference those two are and almost didn’t want to even write that sentence but I want someone else to share in my annoyance.) I’m certain it is the latter since there are no other significant changes – the pituitary damage will never be undone and the orbital areas appear to have the same mass. The question is whether or not the mass is active disease.
Since the PET machine is still down that won’t be answered any time soon. They hope to know by this afternoon if the machine will be working this week. In the meantime, the doctor and I think waiting for the PET scan and results risks the disease flaring up since it would be almost four weeks between treatments, so we are being admitted tomorrow for another round of methotrexate to “hold him over”.
