uh oh :-(

Finally... significant change on my brain scan.

It's a cliche: the doc asks, do you have any travel plans?

The latest MRI scan shows a shadow -- which the experts believe may be a new tumour. About 3cm across (same size as the original).

The scans show (a) shadow of not-brain (tumour or necrosis) and (b) if the shadow is creating blood flow. Blood flow indicates active growth, ie probable tumour.

There's no way to be sure -- without opening the skull to have a look.

But first: I'll get another scan in just one month. If the shadow has grown then... uh oh indeed.

So it's definitely *not* good news. But -- for another month -- back to wait and see.

While waiting -- I watch my health. In particular, fading vision would be bad. Or, I guess, falling over would be bad.

I tell Deb to not worry. I think she's ignoring me.
