Long overdue!

So here we are headed into a total of five years of living breathing and eating Brain Tumor...don’t get me wrong we have had some incredible moments! Incredible.

Kids are awesome! Summer was a blast (had a great trip to Iowa) and now we are back to reality...

We had a visit to Los Angeles this past week for a second opinion (or really what seems like the 100th opinion.) of what we should do with this tumor...From the most recent scans (every 3-6 months) the Tumor is growing- slowly but growing...

The docs want to get in my skull and pop it open like a piñata - shaking a portion of the tumor out. They are telling me that they cannot get all of it, 60%, 80%, maybe 90%- won’t know until they break it open.

The alternative to piñata surgery is more Chemo, more Radiation, more Avastin or a quality of life process. Not sure I or the rest of the family is ready for that quite yet....

Sooo...looks like surgery will be a go...of course after the 3rd Annual Step & Support San Diego Brain Tumor Foundation (SDBTF)- come join the team if you can make it!
