Notes from meeting Mark Bilsky

Stitches removed!  Healing looks good.

RSG: What fraction of the tumor did you resect? 95%
MB: All of it.

RSG:  What margins are you most worried about?
MB:  All of them.

He will get MGH all necessary notes and 
files.  This will take the rest of the week.

Remaining post-op symptoms stable or diminishing.
Tingling in right thumb/forefinger "stable" with
decreasing steroid use, implying inflammation indeed
decreasing.  Some acuity issues in right eye as well
as a droopy eyelid; may be permanent, but should wait
a while before pursuing optometry or opthalmology.

No driving and no lifting things heaving than a phone
book (a Manhattan phone book?) for at least 4 more
weeks.

Next appt in NYC - 08 Dec for CT scan of neck and
09 Dec for X-Rays of C-spine and meeting with him.
