We went to see Dr Schwartzmann at Drexel University Hospitalon Monday. The purpose of the appointment was to coordinate and consult Dr Schwartzmann concerning treatment for RSD inconjunction with the brain tumor treatments.Dr Schwartzmann recommended that we delay any future ketamine treatments until we get the results of the recentreadiation treatments and prognosis. This is due to Donna's heart condition which can be stressed somewhat by the radiation treatment(s). Ketamine treatment also can place stress on th heart. Dr. Schwartzmann also indicated that he and his team are investigating a new drug treatment for RSD based onchemicals found in marijuana which will reduce pain without affecting brain function.Appointment with the radiation oncologist is inthe first week of June.
When I hear of the results from CAT scan I will post them asap.
