Today's update is good news. I just returned home from MDA and all the prayers are working and continue to be answered. I am pleased with my new doctor (Dr. Hamda) and that is one prayer that was answered. After my other Dr. moved to Vanderbilt I was concerned about who I would be assigned to. Dr. Hamda is very atune to everything and I appreciate his style of "doctoring".
I started my visit with lab work and the drawing of blood. Next, it was on to the MRI center where I laid still for exactly one hour. Almost fell asleep while in that tube but the last 20 minutes were the toughest as I had to go to the bathroom badly.
Next it was on to the nutritionist where I was told to reduce my calorie intake 500 calories daily. This may be harder than the side effects of the medication.
After a brief ice cream stop (just kidding it was a diet coke stop) it was on to the visit with Dr. Hamda. He had the results of the MRI already and showed me a before and current picture of the tumor. The tumor has decreased considerably and, Praise GOD, for the time being, they have taken surgery out of the picture. It is felt the remaining tumor can be reduced with the medication. They are increasing the cabergoline medication to 2 pills twice a week and increasing the synthroid to 112. Next visit will be in August.
Thanks to all of you who continue to keep me in your prayers...they continue to be answered. May God Bless each of you.
