another smooth check up

05/02/07
We met with Dr. Lai
last Temodar staredt 04/10/07
Mark had a small seizure on 04/11/07, but had forgotten seizure meds on that day and was up late
Mark is in tip top athletic shape and wows the docs with his resting heart rate of 44!
He passed all neurological tests and had practiced spelling world backwards, but they didn't ask him this time ;)
The scan looked unchanged.
They had a new process in the MRIs to add a new sequence to see surrounding change in tissue which looks stable in Mark's scan too.
Mark is taking a blood test today to see if he can start back up on Temodar this evening.
He'll start up another round of vaccine in 2 weeks as well.

This Saturday (May 12th) we'll all be participating in the Tom Atkinson Memorial 5K in Long Beach. Our team has already raised over $4,000 and as a whole fundraiser, I'll bet we at least make $20,000!!! Wish us luck. For more info see: www.jeanniescure.org
