Eye Update

Pretty soon it will be old news so I thought I better blog. I went to the eye doctor last week. The goal is for me to be weaned off Avastin. Checking my grid, everything looks good to me. So I went to the appointment not expecting a shot. They did both tests this time, one a computer scan and the other is pictures of the eye. So we looked at the pictures. The last time I had the pictures done was right after my first series of three shots but before I recurred. The scar tissue was twice the size in the new pictures. He was pretty sure it was from the recurrence but because there were no pictures we don't know for sure. Then the computer scan showed a little something wonky. So I got a shot. I go back in three more weeks for a new scan and then back to my twelve week intervals. Guess we wait and see if the goal is still to wean me off the Avastin. And I had a devil eye this time. That makes three times for that. I guess it you consider I've had something like 14 shots now it isn't too bad. And this time the numbing shot did NOT sting. That was amazing.
