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.

Derb,

Derb,
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

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
