We went back to st. Mikes last week on Monday.
I had a CTV done, which is a special kind of CT scan.
We found out that the tumor has invad the inferior sagittal sinus ( a vein that provides most of your brain with blood).
This isn't good.
I've been put on a medication to help relieve the pressure on my optic nerve. This medication may be a wonder drug for tumor patients, but the side effects are terrible. It changes the way food tastes, especially carbonated drinks. Everything tastes like crap. One of the side effects of this medication is anorexia...I wonder why.
We were given a surgery date of may 30th.
