I have a brain MRI tomorrow. This only means good things:
1. I will know how I am doing one year after my last craniotomy and with one year of chemo.
2. I get to see Super Awesome Nurse.
3. I am going ask about some weird side effects I've noticed lately.
4. I am totally going to take apart and reassemble that plastic brain model in the neuro-oncologist office. Muahahaha!
