Short but sweet

I saw Mr C today, first appointment of the day. It all went well and he was very pleased with my progress. The scans showed that my brain hasn't changed since my last scan in May, meaning I still have a hole in my brain where the tumour was. He says it is filled with water and may never fill in again. I asked about the possibility of coming off Tegretol Retard and he was happy for me to do that. He recommended to come down to 400 mg twice a day for a month, from 500 mg. He is going to write to my local epilepsy nurse to monitor me. I will have another scan in 4 months time. Really that was it, I would say he saw me for about 10 minutes. Short but sweet. He is my hero!!
