November & December 2008
During my first follow-up appointment with Dr. Rudnick (Dr. Yu highly recommended him and works very closely with Dr. Rudnick on a regular basis.) Dr. Yu and his entire surgical team dropped in on our appointment to make sure everything was going well.
They explained to Paul and me that I had a few options.
Since the tumor was still left inside, they could do radiation but thought that was evasive at this point since the tumor was Begin.
The other option-we can monitor the tumor and wathc and see what it does. This made more sense; we all thought they cut the blood supply off to the existing tumor.
According to Paul, after thanking them for doing an incredible job, keeping me alive, my next comment was “When can I color my hair?”
Dr. Yu had to shave the left front portion of my hair so they could operate. As you can imagine, I had grey roots and was eager to color my hair…A few more weeks they said…
My next few appointments were routine in a sense. Ever week we met with our Neurologist Dr. Rudnick and his Assistant Rebecca.
Everything looked good so far…Next appointment MRI in January 09
