Well, another little bugger showed up on my MRI. The good news is that it's small (5mm) and we caught it early so SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) is a great option again. Also, the Xalkori is still working great on the rest of my body - I've been on it for 2.5 years, which is pretty remarkable.
I go in tomorrow for the planning session. The other upside is that the cancer center has a brand-spankin'-new machine which does NOT use the Frankensteinesque drills-into-your-skull frame. I'll get a better look at the fancy new tech tomorrow.
What a surreal thing this stage IV life is.
So, I'm back on the SRS train. Just hope it keeps on chugging along for a long time.
I hope things go well for you. I had a recent CT scan and the tumors have spread to my brain and liver. I am receiving radiation and then more chemo. I will keep you in my prayers.

We will keep the buggers down. And out. And zapped.
Your friend,
