Journal entry by Melissa Candage

Just wanted to keep everyone updated…I didn’t post anything after my September MRI because I guess I thought no news is good news.  At that time, everything was stable. However, I had my MRI done again at the end of December and had my appointment with my oncologist today.  He noticed a slight growth in the white matter (scar tissue) where my tumor is located.  Right now, he doesn’t feel we need to dive into treatment yet and I’ll have another scan in March, like I planned.  I’m praying that it stays a “slow growth” tumor and we can do what we need to do, treatment wise, when the time comes. I attached a screenshot of my scan. The picture on the left was from December. The one on the right was done March 2022, immediately after I stopped chemotherapy. 
Thanks for your continued prayers. I really do appreciate them!🫶🏻💛
