No longer have to wait


Brian and I were at Duke from noon until 5:30pm, mostly waiting.  At 4:30pm, we learned that my brain tumor isn't growing.  The IV infusion medication is working.

It's excellent news.  My Three People Dream Team at Duke Cancer Center were satisfied that this time through, the chemo is working.

I'm sorry that I don't have more to say.  After a full day of that sort of intensity, I'm completely exhausted.  I'm going to finish writing this message and then go to bed.

It was a good day.



[Wait = here.]

  12. Is it the chemo, or those amazing-looking pies from your Thanksgiving post?! A little of both, I'm guessing. Very happy for you & your family!
