9/27: Waiting for MRI Results
Leo had the MRI yesterday and didn't wind-up staying at the hospital. Oh yeah, did I mention the hospital stay? Because of the thrush that returned over the weekend, not only did we have to stop treatment, but Leo stopped eating and drinking. Of course we were worried and on Monday consulted with Dr. Kroin, who unfortunately is probably the last doctor in the country to call her patients Saturday and Sunday night to see how they're doing. We discussed the possibility of keeping Leo in the hospital after the MRI to get some IV liquids into him to ensure he doesn't get dehydrated. But being the fighter that he is, Leo started drinking Monday night.
Tuesday after the MRI Leo drank some more, had some nasty hospital oatmeal, and had his eletrolytes tested. The results came back fine and we went home. By the time we got home, Dr. Kroin faxed me the preliminary results, read by a different doctor than the first MRI. These were more confusing than usual and partly said good stuff and partly not so good stuff, so on average there's no change. I spoke to Dr. Barbara of course, who said not to rely on these kinds of things especially when read by a different doctor. She said they all see and measure things differently, which was obvious. Consistency is key. Dr. Khan at the Burzynski Clinic would be working on measuring and analyzing the MRI and we'd get a final, signed copy sometime Friday afternoon. He's the radiologist that's read all of Leo's MRIs down there, along with Dr. Dolgopolov. So the wait continues...

My Mum who was experiencing weight gain, hair loss and acne, bouts of chest and abdominal pain and several months of unrelenting headaches that no medicine could relieve, In fact, it got worse. saw various doctors they decided that the lab levels indicated nothing much at all, until we met a Doc. who did CT scan, and she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. So after one year, A surgeon advice was to remove her tumor, along with her left kidney. she needed to see someone with extensive experience in treating adrenal gland tumors for the next phase of her treatment. Knowing she needed to get an answer once and for all, we looked up on the internet and saw someone who testified about Aryan herbal medicine which she took and she had no more symptoms since then.
