Ralph Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Howdy all. Just got back from the radiologist. Seems that my last 2 MRI's showed a new spot in the brain. The latest one confirmed that it is melanoma. It is in the left temporal lobe so the surgeon does not feel good about doing cutting there as this is the speech control area. But the radiologist said he would recommend stereotactic radiation. ( Sorta like pin point radiation surgery. ) Few or no side effects. ANd it should kill the new spot. The original spot has not changed, so I will continue on with the CHemo and in the next week or two will do the Zap on the new tumor. All in all doing well. Despite the fact that it looks as if the Winter rains have started in earnest. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
