This weekend was good. We went for a walk on the Van Fleet Trail this morning. Still not great, but we did about 0.5 more than last week in 4 minutes quicker. This is a very good sign. Want so much to get back out there on the roads. Its conforting to know that the end of this nightmare may really be over soon. The conforting part is that I really do think that the Avonex is really helping great deal. I know don't put all the marbles in one basket, but when something that was as easy as a prescription can help me back on the path of marathons, that is a good thing.
On another note, I have to go to Shands tomorrow for another MRI. We were putting all the reports together for the docs there so that a comparative report can be written. We also found the CD's of all the scans so the report can be accurate. The scarey part is all the talk of "white matter" that is a big factor in MS in a few of the reports. It took Tumor Study that another doc did who said the radiologists at her talk said the white matter looks like MS... Another reason why it is a good idea to go somewhere else for treatment. What kills me two years later that if the neurologist who saw me did what I asked (the spinal tap) and got me diagnosed then. I cannot imagine how much better I would be now. . BTW: I had at least 20 MRI's in a short period. Makes me wonder if that radiation had a factor in the cancer. I don't think so, but it is something that i will research.
