Title: MRI report Post by: N3DRB The Derb on August 01, 2007, 06:28:31 PM hi all, just wanted to let everyone know that my latest MRI report shows zero cancer growth same the last 3 others have - but had bad siezure and wound up in hospital. So the news is mixed. The cancer is getting beat, but the neurological problems havent gone away. Left hand still pretty useless.
They put me on yet another adjunct drug -- Keppra-- maybe this will take care of it. I'd be pretty happy just getting the siezures stopped. Title: Re: MRI report Post by: AF9J on August 01, 2007, 07:04:14 PM Good luck Derb,
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. 73 & Hugs, Ellen - AF9J Title: Re: MRI report Post by: Carl WA1KPD on August 01, 2007, 07:04:42 PM The cancer is getting beat, Derb, Great news.

Our Prayers are with you, hang in there. I know from experience how horrifying these seisures can be, I had 6 different episodes in the 70's with them. No known causes, just took anti-seizure drug's and haven't had anymore since the late 70's. Very SCARY not knowing each day what is going to happen. Been OK since then. Take Care Derb. 73, Fred Title: Re: MRI report Post by: KB5MD on August 02, 2007, 11:25:33 PM Derb, hang in there. I pray you beat this cancer.
I had lung cancer with a 2% chance of beating it and here I am almost 8 years later cancer free. Chemo, radiation and alot of praying got me through it. We just never know what God has for us. God bless and I will say a prayer for you. 73's , Doc Title: Re: MRI report Post by: David, K3TUE on August 03, 2007, 12:06:48 AM Derb, While we have not met yet, I can assure you best wishes for you are in my thoughts.

Hope to see ya at NEAR-Fest in October.73. MisterMike, W1RC Title: Re: MRI report Post by: flintstone mop on August 07, 2007, 07:11:54 PM Beat those cancer cells into oblivion. My brother's wife had seizures and it is under control through the drugs. One problem down and another one to get over. You are doing ok bro!
Just a quick question...Where did that RCA or GE AM transmitter end up? Remember the one you cleaned up and we hauled it to my QTH and then we hauled it to Steve's? I'm looking for a freebie and it doesn't have to be pretty. It had great audio and 250 Watts was sufficient. You can PM me. Title: Re: MRI report Post by: N3DRB The Derb on August 07, 2007, 07:24:41 PM Phred,
some guy from New York came down and picked it up a long time ago, years. I go a letter from him months later and he said that he and his wife got a divorce because he took the thing home. :-X Title: Re: MRI report Post by: WU2D on August 07, 2007, 10:18:26 PM Hey Derb,
Keep it up and you can beat this thing. I am now at 3 + years and it has not come back.
