Progression continues

Here is a brief summary of the past couple years followed by some recent developments
From June to August in 2018 MRI's revealed a small spot that Grew aggressively Around the motor strip
The symptoms around this time were left side weakness, Vision problems and mild confusion
In September I started avastin and dexadron steroids
TheMRI in October looked promising - 
Open in November I started having breathing and bleeding, abd cramping  problems After 5 Avastin treatments.
Pin MRI in December revealed that the tumor has grown another 15%
In January I started having Vision problems causing me to run into things.

Citing the progression of symptoms while on Avastin, I stopped getting it.

In January  '19, I started the proton therapy and re-started the avastin
Mid January an MRI revealed that the tumor in the vision part of my brain got 'a lot' bigger in a few weeks, and the tumor by the motor strip also progressed.
  the radiation ation oncologist decided to increase the areas of the brain that were being treated to account for the larger tumors.
