Great News!

Fran went to see his neuro-oncologist this morning.  She showed us his latest MRI after surgery and she said it was "gorgeous".  There is one large dark shadow where the tumor used to be.  There is nothing suspicious left behind. So now his steroid intake can start being reduced. Also great news is that, as promised, his tumor tissues will be tested and to see if his exhibits any of the "markers" that would qualify him for experimental drugs for immuno-therapy instead of going back to chemo or radiation. Also this morning, two days after moving to Royal Park,  he seems to have recovered some of his strength.  He could stand up on his own and his voice is much stronger.  Very good signs!
He can eat anything except foods with high sugar. So please keep that in mind when you bring food to him.
