An update

I start by apologizing for the length of time between posts...it's been busy this end these past few months. I had another great MRI in May which was another milestone on the road. In April, I captained a Relay for Life team that was the highest fundraising team at our event which was GREAT....and ACS asked me to be the keynote speaker at the survivor banquet, the week prior to the event. A new school year just started and about three weeks ago, at my neuro appointment, the doctor asked how I'd feel if we tried to take me off of the anti-seizure med, Dilantin. I have to say, it's been a little tougher than I imagined to ween off of it, but in about ten days, I will be off of all daily meds...that just leaves fiorecet for headaches and Ativan for any anxiety-type problems. My next scan is sept 5th....fingers crossed and positive thoughts out there please if anyone is still reading. Thanks for your support and patience thus far....some of you that have contacted me directly have been great supporters and have helped me though some tough times...I will post again soon. Take care, everyone.
