On May 1st, I went in for yet another MRI scan. The waiting game began, but it was only two days later, on May 3rd, that I received the results. My heart raced as I opened the report, unsure of what it would reveal. And there it was, another clean MRI Scan. In the context of brain tumors like glioblastoma, a "Clean MRI" simply means that no new growth was detected. Medical professionals often interpret this as a sign of "stabilizing" the disease.
It is funny, isn't it? How can you simultaneously feel overjoyed and cautious about good news? With these scans happening every three months, the fear of the unknown always looms. But as I have shared in my previous posts, I am learning to take life one day at a time.
Sure, there is a part of me that hesitates to celebrate too eagerly. After all, who knows what the next scan might reveal? But I am making a conscious effort to shift my perspective. I am choosing to focus on the happiness of the moment, the relief that comes with knowing I am on the right track.
I remind myself that I am doing everything I can to prolong my life, faithfully sticking to my treatment plan. And right now, that is what matters most. The rest, well, it will fall into place. As long as I keep moving forward with hope in my heart, I know I will be okay.
