Tomas feels pressure in head
so tomorrow it is probable that they will give him shunt
unless miracle happens...

if I have enough faith will miracle happen?

Possibly Hana, possibly.

If not that miracle, then maybe another instead.

Either way, know that we are here, praying, loving you, holding you in our hearts.

God is with you, as we are y>:D<

Dear friends,

Now my husband suffers from radio necrosis.
Well, let me copy paste parts of one scientific article to fully know the risks (below).
Please, pray that the inflammation will be under control and not destructive.

Thank you and God bless.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4325371/
Radionecrosis is the end point of late radiation injury and is frequently irreversible and often progressive [27,33]. If not treated successfully, it can cause serious neurologic injury secondary to cerebral edema and mass effect. Patients often develop progressive lesions that may require surgical intervention to remove the cause of an advancing front of destructive inflammation. Initial management includes corticosteroids with dexamethasone, which will often lead to prompt improvement in symptoms. Although some patients will have resolution of their symptoms with conservative management and eventually taper off steroids, the majority of patients will require long-term steroid use and will be at risk of complications such as osteoporosis, infection and proximal muscle weakness. When the process is not arrested by dexamethasone, steroids can also be used in certain cases as a bridge to surgery. Surgery may be the only therapy that halts the process or leads to improvement of symptoms. We recommend consideration of surgery with a progressive symptomatic process not halted by steroids as the procedure may be beneficial for either progressive tumor or necrosis.

In addition to corticosteroids, many nonoperative treatment approaches have been used in an attempt to treat radionecrosis, including anticoagulants [34], pentoxyfyline, desferioxamine, pentobarbital, hyperbaric oxygen and, more recently, bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against VEGF.

Hana, I realize the variables, options, and the possibilities of various outcomes are both scary and overwhelming to you. But God will lead your path; He knows what things are best for Tomas, and for you. He will show you. And we, here, will continue to do our part in lifting you both up!
