Follow Up MRI #2, Results

With no changes in symptoms, I was pretty confident that the results from this MRI would also show no change.  

Thankfully, my lovely nurses at the Cancer Clinic were wonderful enough to access my port, thus relieving much of the stress involved with the actual procedure.  

Then, it was time to hurry up and wait.  

By now, they recognize me pretty well there.  

The test was in and out.

I was a little surprised that they just asked, "you know your way out, right?"

I guess I'm becoming to much of a regular.  I don't even get escorted back to the front desk.  

At least my nurses laughed about it and promised to never treat me with a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" kind of attitude.  

I sure am going to miss them!

Later that afternoon, I headed out for what I thought was an appointment with Dr. Hoover.  However, sometime during my trip to the lake (with no cell or internet service) I missed that my appointment had been canceled.  So, when I thought I'd get to see and hear the results of the MRI quickly, I'd have to wait until after my next trip.  But, after pleading and playing the cancer card, I was able to get a promise that Dr. Hoover would go over my results STAT and get back to me ASAP.

I didn't want to wait, so I called Dr. Goble's office to see if he'd received any reports.  He got on the phone to tell me that the results were great.  The spots in my brain were actually smaller than before.  This was good news, as this change suggested that they were NOT CANCER!!!!  

If there was to be a change, THIS was the type of change I was hoping for.  

I had also put in a call to Dr. Fleener's office, and received a report of good news from one of the nurses there, as well.  

A few days later, as I was packing for my next trip, Dr. Hoover called.  His report was even better than the others.  He explained that radiology described the spots in my brain as having decreased.  In his opinion, for someone who didn't know about my history and was doing an MRI without any others to compare, the spots were so insignificant that they might not even notice them!  From a doctor who originally assumed that these spots would eventually grow into cancer, this was HUGE. 

Miracles continue.  

I cannot express my gratitude.  

I am humbled and often feel like I am not worthy of so many amazing blessings, but how thankful I am that they keep coming.
