The Results are in.....

C and T had their MRI's on the same day in June. Both had to be sedated because of their age. They both did wonderful! We anxiously awaited the results. Dr. Swineyard called us and went over the MRI results. C's is still normal which is a good thing. It's difficult to understand why his CPP is so challenging to treat but at least it's not something concerning like a tumor. T did have something show up on the MRI which does not explain the CPP, but it's good that we know. He has an Arachnoid Cyst in his brain. This is a fluid filled cyst that is small in size. As long as it stays small and does not start to cause symptoms we should be able to leave it alone. If he does start to develop symptoms then he might have to endure further testing and possible surgery to remove the cyst. My hope is that it will just stay the same and not bother him. We will repeat an MRI in two years to make sure the cyst is staying unchanged. Dr. Swineyard also changed the course of action for the twins. He reviewed all of the medical records again and decided that it would be better to remove the implants and immediately start the 28 day Lupron injections for both of them. So it looks like we will be starting Lupron this year in October. I feel for the twins, the injections can be painful because of the size of the needle and the thickness of the medication. I am sure they will be strong, like they have in the past but it does break my heart to see them go through all of this. On the bright side they will be 7 soon and that means we should be down to the last 4 years of treatment.
