      I am so thankful.  Original brain tumor (21mm) was found Oct 4th that was showing symptoms.  SRS done Oct 17th and was told that there was approx 1cm bleeding at the time.   EMR Oct 30th due to severe headaches but told stable.

      Today's MRI was good!  There has been shrinkage of 20% and it shows nucrosis spaced through out the tumor.  Has not bleed again since the first time and is slowly being absorbed.  Both the radiologist and melanoma specialist both were so excited and had only smiling.  They feel that all of the issues I've been having are steroid symptoms.  Now we are finishing weaning.  They have slowly been weaning me off and should take about another week or so. 

      Every joint has caused problems but they have told me if I do have some headaches that I'm not to worry.  Sometimes it does happen. If they're bad then I call back.  Meanwhile next PET scan is the first week of Jan.
