Sierra had her appointment with the neurosurgeon today. Her incision is healing nicely.
We went over the latest MRI results.
That big, white bright spot on the two bottom pictures is where the tumor was. There are still some small tumor cells visible, but right now, they are stable.
There are a couple little tumors also noted, but they appear to be benign and unrelated to the glioma. One of the tumors is the original pituitary tumor. The second was just a little further back in hypothalamus. They will just continue to monitor them along with all the other monitoring.
The symptoms she's been experiencing are likely to be seizures and/or a migraine disorder. All things the neurologist should be able to tell us. Seizures are one of the main things we were warned about after surgery.
For now, the next steps are to see the urologist on Friday, the neurologist on May 4th, the neuro oncologist and neurosurgery team in Oakland. We are to continue the frequent MRI's, add anti seizure meds, and possibly migraine meds if needed, continued physical, speech and occupational therapies.
On Saturday, our friends and several people from the community hosted an amazing fundraiser event. We were overwhelmed by the amount of love that was shown to Sierra and our family. This community is truly amazing.
