PIC
So I saw my new eye specialist. He seems fine. Knows his stuff. He explained what happened to my eye. I had some kind of inflammation that caused scarring. That allowed the abnormal blood vessels to grow and leak. Okay so there is a technical name for it and all I could remember was PIC. Tried to look it up but haven't had much luck yet. He said PIC seems to mostly happen to women in their 40's. Yeehaw for me. And they have no idea why or what causes it. And to top it off he said the inflammation could return at any time. More yeehaws for me. His goal is to wean me off the Avastin. He said I have done remarkably well. So we are stretching out my next appt. to 13 weeks. Guess that will be telling. I recurred at 13 weeks the last time we tried no medication. He seems hopeful though since that was at the beginning of treatment and I have two years of it now. We shall see and only time will tell. Oh and he also told me that Dr. Lemley was also working towards this same goal, so I felt better.
