All Sources Agree!

Brain cancer is...

...safe from the knife today!

All good news and great things today.  Darrell's medical team members all agree:  "Let's not cut into Darrell's head just now!"

Today we heard from:

• UCLA's neuro-radiology Tumor Board
• Dr. Noblett (the orginal surgeon)
• Dr. Park

All sources are in agreement with Dr. Cloughesy:  The brain pancake does not look like a glioma.  It's increasing in size, but it's growing slowly.  They also agree on the current plan:

• MRI with 1-mm slice size
• Two-month monitoring with appointments at St Jude and UCLA.

It couldn't get any better than that!

We got this news right after my class with Block 4.  Darrell wandered in to a round of applause from his Block 4 fans.   (That's part of Block 4's Great Chalk Project from today, above.  Lovely! Just like them!)

Before our lunch date had ended, Darrell and I had booked/confirmed:

• November's UCLA appointment
• Our stay at Tiverton
• The November MRI at St Jude.

Everyone works.  Everyone celebrates!  Thanks for joining us today in the cheering!
