.....and I am understandably nervous. I have no reason to be  nervous, since the last  MRI was so good - pieces of the tumor shrinking, that new patch of cancer shrinking, that quarter-sized  cyst completely  gone, , ect but I am still very jittery.

Plus, I will admit, I am claustrophobic.  Were at a different hospital at B-C, which  has a  quick, open MRI machine, but my first MRI was at upstate, which was tight and enclosed, not to mention, it was  two-and-a-half-hours. .
I will update this journal with the results.

Edit
So the MRI went OK The new patch of cancer cells  mostly stayed the same, but a bit  of it has backed off. The neurologist said he will continue with the temmedar and the avastin for now, as it is still early yet. We are still considering  going to Boston and/or Duke University to see doctors who study this. We don't absolutely have to do this, but we like to have as many opinions and options available.

I  would still love to go to Boston, though. It's such a great city.
