Hello Everyone,
I got the report back from my Brain MRI that I had done last Friday.
It says it's decreased from 2.3cm to 8mm, decreased associated T2 hyperintensity and no new mass or abnormal enhancement.
So the MRI looks good. Not sure if it's from the WBR or Zelboraf, I'm meeting with the Radiologist Onc tomorrow so I supposed he'll be able to tell me.

The PET Scan results aren't in yet but I'm getting pretty good at seeing the spots that light up. As I suspected I'm lighting up on my right side either my stomache or gallbladder. I've been having pain under my right ribs so I suspected something was going on. The previous tumors have shrunk significantly but not sure how much until the report comes back. I'm not having any bad side effects except my ears hurt from the WBR and they still haven't popped. I'm also having severe nausea. Having trouble eating and keeping it down. Seems like I"m constantly nauseated, I'm wondering if it's from the WBR or the Z or the gallbladder/stomache tumor??
Has anyone else had gallbladder tumor and what were your symptoms? Did you have surgery?
Thanks
Denise

Denise! That's such great news about your brain tumor! I am delighted for you!
Now I'll keep my fingers crossed about the PET scan results.
My brother had occassional nausea during his WBR treatments, but not after. He did have a "cotton in the ears" sensation for a long time. I hope your doctor can find a way to get the nausea under control. After this great result, you need to eat healthful food and keep your strength up.
Keep going now– you're doing great!
