A little bit of good news for a change...

Mom's PET scan test results came back clear today. That means that we only have to focus on the cancer in her brain. The confusion is getting better, although she still has difficulty coming up with the right word to use occasionally, and continues to have a little difficulty with her handwriting and typing e-mails. Overall, there has been a good deal of improvement versus one week ago today. She if halfway through with her radiation, and has seven treatments remaining. We hope to continue to see improvements from the radiation. When the treatments are over they will do another MRI and evaluate the progress. After they evaluate the progress they will determine the next course of action.

Mom continues to be in good spirits, and appreciates all of the e-mails, comments on the blog, and calls. The radiation is leaving her quite tired though, and she has been resting quite a bit lately.

We appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. Thank you again for your support.
