tumor pictures

Okay, if you don't want to see pictures of this horrible big thing that my doctor removed from my brain, close your browser now.

The images below are from the MRI done on May 14, the day after I was admitted to the hospital. My neurologist showed me this scan when he told me about the procedure he planned to do. It was surreal.

I have since had post-operative scans that show my brain is healing awesomely. It's spreading out to retake the space that had been stolen by the invading forces of the tumor. The swelling inside is going down nicely.

These first 3 pictures show slices of the scan going from the top of my head down:




This last picture is from the side - the tumor was on the right side, just behind my eye, hence the double vision:


Holy shit. I am so glad that thing is gone.
