Thank you all for Prayers.

Treatment seems helping. We are seeing 10% improvement in his headache. I met his Radiologist, he is cautiously optimistic. H said though this is highly unfortunate, they know where it is and it is contained in one place. So if luck favors us, we could expect positive out come. His left eye ptosis has aalleviated a bit too. But no great progress yet.

I plan to see their HOD tomorrow. There are 4 more RTs left, what should we expect after that? My brother is taking TB meds too, it seems he has contracted TB post treatments.

I hope his headache goes away with that lesion and recover very fast. Drs don't give good pain meds here. He is taking diclofenac+ paracetamol for HA and Xanax .5mg 1 tab for sleep. That is not much for his level of pain+ insomnia+ anxiety.
Thank you for Your prayers and help.
