Oligo-Lucky: 2009 - "Houston, we have a problem..."
http://oligo-lucky.blogspot.com/2009/05/2009-houston-we-have-problem.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. 2009 - "Houston, we have a problem.". It appears that the old oligo is misbehaving! The MRI and PET scans that we scheduled three months ago, after some uncertainty in January, have uncovered two new issues. First, it is clear that the oligo has grown when compared to images from two years ago. Second, it is now touching the Corpus Callosum and if it invades that structure it will become inoperable. Luckily, indications are that it has not turned malignant. Updated: 15 May 2009.

Oligo-Lucky: Another Watch and Sweat (Wait) comes up clear - almost five years tumour-free now
http://oligo-lucky.blogspot.com/2014/03/another-watch-and-sweat-wait-comes-up.html
Monday, March 3, 2014. Another Watch and Sweat (Wait) comes up clear - almost five years tumour-free now. Another follow-up MRI scan came up clear today. May 2014 will be the five-year anniversary of my last surgery.That's heaps better than the paltry two and a half years I got out of the previous operation in 2006. So I'm thinking that the trials of radiation and chemo therapies that I went through in 2009/10 were worthwhile now. First diagnosed after craniotomy #1. First recurrance and Craniotomy #2.
