James had an MRI this last Monday. Now that he does not have a central line, getting the contrast can be quite traumatic - and this time was no exception. I'm not sure how many sticks it took, although I'm sure James can tell you exactly. But, we finally got it. Dr. Mogul, James' new oncologist, called today to say that the results show that the tumor is SMALLER than the August scan with pockets of necrosis (dead tumor) in the middle. This is actually the results we should see when he is on treatment. So, maybe all the supplements that he has taken this summer have truly helped. Dr. Mogul suggested that we don't start any treatment. He emphasized many times, "First do no harm." Although this is the oath that doctors take when becoming a doctor, I assure you they do not all practice it. So, it was quite a blessing to us to hear him say that. He feels that any treatment at this point may be more detrimental to James than beneficial. I have a feeling we are going to love Dr. Mogul as much as we have loved Dr. Goldman. We thank the Lord for giving us a doctor that is this understanding.
We will still await the opinion and suggestions of Dr. Buryznski in Houston. But, for now, this is good news!!!
Now, we are looking forward to a very blessed Christmas and we pray that you all have the same!!
