Another Stable Scan!!!

Jen's scan from earlier today was again stable!  This marks 22 and 1/2 months since diagnosis.

I know it is easy to feel lulled into complacency with Jen's continual stable scans.  The reality is she is doing extremely well considering that she is multi focal, inoperable, IDH1 negative (a type of mutation in glioblastoma with a much more positive outcome), and was unable to tolerate the standard dose of chemo used to treat her cancer.  On the plus side though, Jen is methylated (a predictor for better outcomes with glioblastoma), she is under 50, has a positive attitude and she is a fighter surrounded by people who love her.  She is also extremely disciplined with her diet regimen and is also willing to use the Optune (arrays on her head) which a lot of patients have difficulty adjusting to.

Jen's next scan is scheduled for August 25.  At 7 weeks out this will be her longest period between MRIs. It will also be the day before her 2 year anniversary since diagnosis.  Keep the prayers and well wishes flowing!  Thank you!
