WT..neuro..says that there is a Rhind?? around the tumor that is collapsing inward and most times the rhind expands outward?? she says she is pleased beyond pleased with his response to treatment..gave him a mouthwash to use for the thrush in addition to what they gave him at Emergency room..also gave him another antibiotic..also decided to restart steriod regimen of 4 pills a day and said steriods may make infections stay a little longer but she thought he needed something that would help him get his strength back a little faster...
so..my sister said it sounded real positive from neuro...she said it's not a cure but is very positive and very rare for the rhind to collapse inward??
That is positive. Glios are stubborn, sometimes we don't get a quick response or one as good as we'd like. By that outer edge collapsing in, that shows necrosis. The area is dying, the vascular feed is compromised. A great response.
That mouthwash is very good for thrush - we used to refer to it as 'magic mouthwash'. It truly does wonders. The steroids will help - it sounds like this doc is on top of their game. More good news.
