Hi guys, thanks you again for your time, I received a messahe from Dr Charles Tie last week as I had copied my last MRi and one of our company caps, he stipulated the following:

“Dr Teo has reviewed your recent MRI and is glad to find that there is no evidence of tumor progression, in fact the scan looks even better than the last one. That's great news. We look forward to seeing your next MRI”

This made me feel GREAT. I do hope you and your family have top school holiday cummin up, please be careful.

Hi guys, well it's me, I feel GREAT and will continue to be positive. Lea took me to Brisbane on the 29th of October 2010 and presented tickets to me for her and I to see both Robin Gibb (Bee Gees) and Bonnie Tyler, this was TOPS, however the next day I turned 42. Anyway, I had an MRi in early October 2010 and by the end of October 2010 my Oncologist informed me that there has been no sign of growth or reduction in the brain tumer, this was pleasing for me. During June 2010 I started getting around a bit more and went to my cousin's wedding, I met so many people I had not seen for years, this was so good and I would recommend this to anyone, attached is an image of myself and my mum that night. I wish to thank everyone that has been reading this site and those that have been positive for me, other then that I will try and keep this site up and running and again,"thanks guys"

We are back from Sydney. It was cold and raining. We saw Dr Teo and he said that at the moment because Dean is so well that he would not offer surgery as it will be a last resort because it will very likely affect his speech. He wants to take over Deans case and have regular MRIs to keep an eye on whats happening with the tumour. Dean is very happy to have him keeping an eye on things. It was a good trip.

Well, we have heard from Dr Teos office. They said that there are changes and they want us there for a consult. We will fly down on the 18th May for a consult with Dr Teo and then go from there.

Dean had a MRI this week and saw the oncologist yesterday for the results. The tumour hasn't grown, there is no change either way. The Dr doesn't want to continue chemo at the moment. She gve Dean a form to get another MRI in a few months to see if anything is happening.
Dean has posted a copy to Dr Teo in Sydney and we are just waiting to hear from him.

Well, we got through Cyclone Ului and have spent the week cleaning up with more still to do. Dean had a blood test this morning and his platelet count has jumped from in the 70's to 125. He had another treatment today.
Dean had a phone call from Dr Charlie Teo, the Neurosurgeon on Last Chance Surgery. After reviewing the MrI's, he is confident that he could operate to remove the tumour. Dean has to have another MrI next month and send a copy down to Dr Teo, then an apt will be made for a consult.
