On Thursday, Gabe met online with Hopkins’ staff to discuss the results of his most recent MRI. The tumor’s size remained basically stable. This is in the realm of what was expected given that radiation doesn’t dissolve tumors but should stop growth, at least for a time.

Gabe continues to experience symptoms like hiccups, sharp headaches, dizziness and loss of appetite. He pretty much has accepted this as the new normal and understands it could be much worse given the original surgery, reemergence of the tumor and rounds of radiation. 

The next MRI will be scheduled in three more months. 

Thanks for the checking in on how he is doing!
