Hey everyone... unfortunately, my family is dealing with this nightmare too. My dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma back in April of last year. He had surgery in May, followed by rounds of chemo and radiation. We just got the follow-up MRI results back. Here’s what it says: "Follow-up MRI compared to the scan from May 2010 shows improvement. Brain MRI via transverse, sagittal, and coronal sections using various imaging techniques shows the state following left frontoparietal osteoplastic craniotomy due to reduction of the glioblastoma mass. There is currently a visible hyperintense change measuring 23 mm in the left frontal area on the T2 image, which consists of somewhat inhomogeneous content and primarily corresponds to the postoperative zone. Malacia is present along with persistent perifocal edema and some mild, partial retractive changes to the frontal horn of the lateral ventricles, though these are significantly smaller than in the previous scan."
"There is evident mucosal edema in the maxillary sinuses, particularly on the right, as well as in individual cells of the ethmoid sinus and the sphenoid sinus..."
What do you all make of these results? What should we be bracing for next?
