Seeing as how it's been a month ++

Well.......... I suppose you've been in a dire need of an update. I'll try to make this brief, cause I'm only typing with my left hand.

First, let me say congrants to the people who graduated yesterday. Woohoo!!!

Secondly, I did a terrible thing back in may had a headache right after the chemo started. A call to Dr Barton sent me into the ER to make sure there wasn't any. He noticed the size of the lump was getting bigger, but we were just a few days onto the chemo. So, he waited. A month went past, my physical standing continued to decline, and he ordered another MRI. Expecting to tell me the worst, he set up an appointment shortly after the MRI. Fortunately for him and me, the shrinkage in my head came down. Some of the imparaments have disappeared, some have decided to stay (only typing with the left hand), either way, the thing aint growin'.

All the best,

More and... well more.

So, Dr. Barton saw me the following thursday (this was a while ago) and decided this was all good. He was mostly right, and I've been on the accutaine since then. Now, I'm on about a half a million drugs, all of which I'm on.

Then again my dog did just have puppies! The at home at least!

MKay... quick update

So Dr. Gilbert told me to take accutane, temodar, and avastin. The first two because they'd help the tumor and the last on because it'll help the cyst. That started last saturday. Monday I woke up with a huge headache so i went into the er for the first time in years. The problem was the accutane, we think, so I'm stopping that until thursday, when I think I'll have an appt with Dr, Barton. In the meantime, I have plenty of narcotics!

The Plan... now at least

Our plan is to go down to see Dr. Gilbert (neuro oncology) and Dr. Lang (neurosurgery) for the next few days at MD Anderson. We'll see if they have trials that sound legitimate to me.

psssst!!

I don't know if anybody noticed... but it's a happy b-day for my counter.
