Default The results are in... The word progressive is printed on them.

Well, three of my old lesions decided to merge and form one giant lesion that spans from my C7 to my T2 and... "This has progressively enlarged compared to the previous study and involves two-thirds of the cross sectional area of the spinal cord. Previously the lesion in this region was limited to the T1 level and involved one- third of the cross sectional diameter area of the cord."

"in comparison with 10/29/2008, there has been interval progression of demyelination in the partially visualized lower cervical spinal cord and upper thoracic spinal cord at the T1/T2 levels.

"The findings have progressed compared with the recent prior study from 10/29/2008."


This is to go along with the 6 other new lesions they found on my spine. I get the brain results back tomorrow.

The good news is none of them responded to the contrast so it seems none of them are active at this time. Which is very good news. And I will stick to remembering the good part.

The bad part is he used the P word 3 times! Which I am trying not to dwell on too much I knew it was progressing. But seeing it in black and white somehow makes it more real.

Doctor is calling me in muscle relaxers and anti inflammatories in hopes of pain management but nothing else he can do at this time, we have to wait until next week when my neuro gets back from vacation.
