Chase's MRI Reflected his Clinical Improvements
We just got the info back from Chase’s MRI scan - overall not bad. There was certainly no more growth or increased size from the last scan (June 16th), which in itself is a relief, considering the previous two showed considerable growth and progression of symptoms.
The Radiologist was gracious enough to spend a lot of time going over the various slides. The changes seem to closely replicate what we’ve been seeing in terms of Chase’s improvements in clinical symptoms, including(1) reduced inflammation (2) considerably more liquid - necrosis / breakdown, particularly in the upper areas of the tumor, which is completely new from the previous scans (3) less overall density or mass in the tumor.
Of course, conventional medicine can't explain these changes and they grasp for some explanations - such as the fact that the recent shunt implant reduced the pressure in the upper areas of the brain so the fluid that was beginning accumulate in the lower part (near the Pons) migrated to the midbrain (i.e. this isn’t new fluid); however, we don’t “buy” this explanation, considering the changes in clinical symptoms.
We’re anxious to get the impression of the Radiologist from the Burzynski Clinic, since they’ve seen far more cases of regression and success in beating this condition than conventional Oncologists. We’re hoping to get their feedback tomorrow and we’ll post what we find out.
Overall, we’re very encouraged and keeping the faith, expecting Chase to continue his climb up the mountain of recovery, God willing! In our prayers / visualizations, please ask that Chase receive more strength and vitality in order to keep up the good work and accelerate his recovery. Thanks for your ongoing support!
God Bless!
