We spoke too soon. The brain radiation oncologist called today and said the new tumor that showed up on the May scan is growing. He did not have a full report when he was telling me the results yesterday so was not aware of this development until today. This means steroids and cyberknife again. I am scheduled to meet with my oncologist tomorrow and the brain specialist next week to discuss and schedule the plan.

When asked how I was, I responded with a loud, "I"M MAD!" I want longer periods of time when I don't have to be discussing, planning, treating, etc.!!

This is really sad. Even though I don't know you, and you don't know me... I want to say: Just be strong. I hope it all goes away for you. Your stories really make me think of the things I take for granted in my life. You changed my point of view for things a lot.
