APPOINTMENT With DoctoR CHEEMA AND PLAN FOR TREATMENT
Just back - 25 October 2018
Treatment Options:
No Treatment -surgery Not an Option
1) Surgery- Remove the AVM. (the bunch of blood vessels)
Not Recommended because adjacent brain tissue may be damaged.
Also, the nature of the AVM is not a good candidate for surgery, because the arteries are connected to working parts of the brain.
-which he saw this at the time . when he operated to relieve the pressure on my brain at the time of the bleed
2) Blocking the AVM- Fill the AVM with "glue"..
Not recommended because the arteries are connected to working parts of the brain.
3) Radiation- Target the AVM with radiation
Recommended- Requires an MRI in January and treatment in late February.
This is an Outpatient procedure.
May cause swelling, which will require other treatment at the time and would be done on site at OU Medical centre
So now we wait. I like the man and trust him totally.
I now have to work on my left side "cut off sight; and small , moving objects and focus"
This changed my life and I am still in shock and need this time to heal and recover. Small things send me off track right now as you will understand, I am sure
