MRI results

We met with the doctors to go over the results of the MRI scan. It was a good news bad news situation... the chemo meds she had been taking for the past 5~6 months did not make any changes (bad news). Because of that, she is no longer taking those meds and going thru all the side effects associated with it (good news).

So with most the other meetings we've had with the doctors, they are not sure what to do next. They offered two initial ideas;
1. Steroids -
Mia would take them for a week then off for a while. This way the side effects could be minimized and might not have long term effects vs being on them all the time.
2. Radiation -
Mia could undergo radiation treatments in the areas that are causing the most pain. This however has its own set of side effects, not sure they will out weight the good.
