My tumors' birthday is coming up. It was on September 9, 2010 when I had my first MRI and found out my brain buddy. Actually, we don't know when it was born, so lets call it an anniversary.
Here is the blog entry from that day:

Anyway, my oncologist said the MRI yesterday was 'stable', as far as they can tell. The visit to the cancer mill almost went off without a hitch....except they forgot to take my vitals before seeing the doctor. I should have kept my mouth shut and saved 10 minutes.
The only thing I talked to the doctor about was my lack of stamina. I have been having a real hard time making it through the day. After a couple hours at work, my eyes feel like they are going cross-eyed and the fog I've been talking about settles over my head.
The doctor said that I can try Provigil (100mg/day). I have been hesitant to take on any 'sustaining' medications, but this is getting out of control. I hope it helps. He then said the insurance was probably not going to cover it, and if it doesn't, go to Canada. So I was not surprised to get a call from the pharmacy saying one of my prescriptions was having insurance issues. I called the pharmacy and they said the Provigil was ready, but the Temodar (Chemotherapy) was denied by the insurance company. Ahhh, the fight continues.
