Holding pattern

Went for a brain CT scan yesterday.

Situation is stable. The biggest lesion is the same size since the last scan in May. Some multiple lesions is not seen anymore. Two new lesions appeared.

Dr Kana said the new lesions are quite near the brain stem where it could affect my stability. He gave me some eye-hand coordination tests to check if my stability is affected. So far so good.

I am not worried nor upset, neither is Dr Kana. I felt that if the lesions can go away (or become so small its not detectable), so can the new ones. And vice versa too!

Did a lung x-ray too. The result also showed stability; same situation as was taken in China in late July.

Will go for another scan in 3 months time; January 2006.
