MRI and The Monkey

I just heard the results of last Thursday's head MRI.

The remaining junk in my brain has actually reduced, and that's pretty great news! I'll get more info next week when Ki and I see Dr Blanchete.

We're not 100% sure why I'm having some eye flickering, energy issues nor balance weirdness, but I can fix that I think. It may be the carousel of medications I've been switching around as of late:

   Amoxicillin and Clar-blah blah-micin for the H Phylori gut stuff (finished these antibiotics as of last Wednesday)

   Nexium and Pyilosec (which didn't "get er done".)

   Protonix and Mylanta (my gut is getting a bit better, slowly.)

   Warfarin for anticoagulation amount going up and down in order to keep me from another pulminary embolism.

   And my generic-made in-Goa-shipped-from-Singapore-purchased-via-Canada Gleevec is still in the mix.

Now, I'm mainly hopeful to get another round of Yervoy, which Dr Blanchete was very supportive of when I asked about it. I mean it's not a real cancer year without four $70k infusions, right?

I'm still hoping for the sail boat effect, but hope to not need to use a hat for non-head cover. 

If you know me, this is one of my fave Bugs Bunny bits.
