We had a quiet Christmas at home and headed off to Duke on December 27th. Billy had an MRI the prior Thursday and his doctor at Duke was pleased with the results. The tumor has not increased in size and the swelling has continued to lessen. What that means for us is an improvement in speech and comprehension although severe fatigue and weakness continues to be a problem. Bill had another round of Avastin and Temodar last Thursday and had a couple of very difficult days but seems to be on the upswing today.
Cassidy brought her mommy and daddy all the way from Oregon for a visit. Heather and her friend, Fred, are here with us as well. They have all been so helpful and it has lifted our spirits so much. Sometimes you don't even recognize the burden you are under until someone comes along and takes the weight for you.
We hope that everyone got everything they wanted for Christmas and that the New Year brings all good things.
Love,
Billy and Darlene
