I�just got back from my appointment with Dr. Scianna in DeKalb. I got wonderful news. First, he does agree with Dr. Rubach,�I�canapos;t let that thing stay in there. If I do it will increase my risk of infection and cause a lot more problems. He scoped my sinuses and he has it attached to video camera and he projects in on a big screen tv for me to watch as well. This is the first time I�have seen what this "mass" actually looks like with my own eyes. Itapos;s HUGE As heapos;s looking around he says to me, "Well I can definitely say itapos;s not brain" (cuz thatapos;s what was in my sinues last time he looked around in there). He says heapos;s 99 positive that itapos;s nothing more than an abnormally large polyp. He says it needs to come out. In any other patient he would preform the surgury and have it taken care of in a matter of days. But surgury is not an option for me. He said that surgury would put me in too great of a risk for another brain fluid leak. He said that once you have one CSF leak you are always at a higher risk for another one and surgury would magnify that by 1,000. He says that especially with my unusual history, he is not willing to take that chance. He said that nobody should be performing any surgeries in my left sinus cavity unless it is 100 nessisary and all other options have been exhausted. So, he says he wants to go with a sterioid treatment. But, not like the ones I was taking before...oh no. He says he wants to go with a highly concentrated sterioid injection. It would be a 3 part treatment. He would literally take a needle and stick it into my head and inject a concentration of steriod directly into this polyp. I would then come back 6 weeks later and he would do it again. I would then come back in another 6 weeks for my final injection. He says after 3 rounds of direct sterioid injections�it should be completely gone. He says he wouldnapos;t be a good doctor if he didnapos;t double check is diagnosis. Before he starts injecting steriods into things he needs to make 100 for certain that itapos;s just a polyp (injecting sterioids of that magnitude into my brain would be bad). He wants to see my CTapos;s from RUSH and he said he can tell from there. If the CT is not clear then he will send me for an MRI. If he finds itapos;s just a polyp we will start with steriod injections. If he finds its something else then weapos;ll talk about other options then. He said he is doing this as a precaution and he really thinks its nothing more than a large polyp.
This is great news. No surgury. Now granted Iapos;m not excited about getting a needle stuck into my face on 3 seperate occasions. That doesnapos;t sound the least bit pleasurable. But....anything is better than surgury. He also told me that a side effect of such a treatment can result in blindness or blurred vision. He says he highly doubts that will happen but before I agree to it I need to know what the risks are. I am willing to take that chance. So, in�about 6 months (when all my treatments are done) this whole thing can completely be put to rest. Thatapos;s awesome and I�canapos;t wait
