      On Wednesday I had a 4 month follow-up MRI which showed a 2mm reduction in size of existing brain met from 7mm to 5mm. And probably more importantly, no new ones! Whew, what a relief. So it looks like the combo of gamma knife(in May) and ipi(started in August) has me moving in the right direction. I am starting to have some gastro issues from the ipi, but with this news…..it's worth it.
