      Although not the relaxing day I had hoped for the MRI looks good.  Nothing new and for the most part the radiation site is stable.  There is some increasing evidence of radiation necrosis which aligns with not having feeling back in my foot but it's not tumor regrowth so I can't complain.

      Why wasn't my day as good as I had hoped?  Just having a little trouble juggling all the balls at the moment and Boston traffic is insane.  

      Good wishes to you all,

      Jennifer

          Great news! Stable is wonderful and nothing new even better.

              Hi Jen! Oh good! Glad it went smooth! A lil’ necrosis never hurt anyone right?
              Hay, wanna trade some Los Angeles traffic for your Bostonian traffic? I think were starting to be compared to Bangladesh! except we have lines painted on our roads & directional signs & arrows..haha…

                  Goats and scooters.  As long as the numbness in my foot doesn't get too much worse then I don't mind the radiation necrosis.  Just need to be able to drive.

                  Terrific despite necrosis! DC metro area now #1 or #2 for worst traffic and Boston #7, so we win. Suggest not juggling in traffic.

                        Beth you definitely win!  I promise to stop juggling in traffic!  You absolutely made me laugh – my 7 year old just asked me to keep it down.
