MRI

Kael had his MRI two weeks ago. For the most part things looked good. The radiologist said they did an MRV which scans the veins in the brain to make sure there has been no hemmorraging. That all checked out fine but they did find a mark in his 'basal ganglia' (the part of the brain that sits on top of the brain stem) that resembles a small stroke. Now we start over trying to decide what caused all the pain last August. Dr. Affify thought it was the chemo in the spine but now she says that it doesn't make sense. So we will sit down with her in two weeks and decide if we want to rechallenge the chemo in the spine. Although there are side affects and damage is being done we have to weigh the options - continue with the chemo or take the chance of the leukemia coming back. BiG Decisions!
