Diagnosed six months ago, started the big K, had my first MRI since treatment Friday. Result posted to my portal late last night. I have NO new lesions! So now if I just learn how to manage the millions I’ve got, I think I’ll have this crappy disease nailed down for a minute. I am beyond relieved. Wishing the same to each of you!
EDIT: I appreciate you all so much. I feel a lot less alone having this group to share with. Thank you thank you.
Omg I loooooove Kesimpta, it's the first drug that's kept me stable too! CONGRATS!

Jumping on for some possibly helpful info! Doctors use contrast normally if you're in a relapse and they want to find new lesions. But because we need so many MRIs, most (good) neuros will do without contrast for maintenance MRIs. They just compare the old MRI to the new one. They can still see lesions, they just don't light up. Also, because contrast contains heavy metals (gadolinium) you DON'T want to use it often. I have an agreement with my doctor not to use contrast unless he feels it's absolutely necessary. Hope that helps!
