Today I spoke again to the surgeon that saw me at the hospital. He asked for a tractography of my brain, a really neat image to start planning my surgery.
I shared my concern of having surgery since the only guaranteed way to improve my prognostic through surgery is to remove at least 95% of the tumor, and all doctors agreed that this would bring a very high risk of leaving me paralyzed on the left side. He agreed and shared that the risk was very real but that this is a very personal decision.
I shared that since I am feeling great and didn't have seizures since the one I had on day one I would rather wait and manage the tumor through frequent MRIs until it becomes obvious that I need surgery. He said that as long as I am comfortable, waiting is the best option.
So I scheduled another MRI for September 12th. Stay posted and keep praying and sending me positive thoughts. In the meantime I am determined to melt this thing by channeling all the energy I am getting from my family and friends and keeping my pre glioma routine as best as I can.
