Pathology showed cause of 10/15 surgery to violent swelling and scar tissue reaction to CyberKnife treatments not advancing tumor.Good news!

@PamZehnerDon't know if you already know or not but my brain tumor is back. Going back in HUP for big surgery tomorrow. Hope you are well.

Just heard from hospital and I'm on the surgical schedule for my 3rdbrain surgery of 2012 on Monday morning. Thanks for all of the support.

As hard as it has been fighting brain cancer through my 30s + 40s, my heart and respect go out to the youngest warriors. #BrainTumorThursday

Going to be spending this #BrainTumourThursday at hospital in Philly having pre-admission MRI and testing before next brain surgery on Mon.

Met with surgeon today. Having another brain surgery Mon 10/15 due to areas of treatment effect and possible recurrence shown on last MRI.

@amorrisWNEW good idea but I don't think so since I won't be the only patient/case discussed and it might violate patient privacy.

Advanced scan will be examined and treatment plan discussed by my team at @PennMedicine during tumor board on Thurs. Very nervous. #BTSM

Sadly, MRI onFriday appeared to show areas of possible scar tissue from CyberKnife and/or tumor recurrence. Having advanced MR Monday#BTSM

Having two month MRI scan tomorrow morning. Very stressed out but hoping for a stable report #BrainTumorThursday

My last MRI from July showed an increase in brain swelling from the radiation I had in May. Next MRI will be on 9/28. #BRAINTUMORTHURSDAY
