Just take this time to rest, love.

He is in good hands - you need a little break of your own *hugs*

Unfortunatly, the 30 mile drive to the hospital and sitting with him for hours, then the 30 mile drive back home isn't much of a break.

So to give you all an update, dad had a procedure call Gamma Knife which basically means they shot gamma radiation at the tumor in a massive dose. They've done this twice so far because it has worked and the tumor has dissipated 60-70%. He is unsteady on his feet due to the steroids he is on to keep his brain from swelling, so now he is using a wheelchair to get around. Thankfully my brother in law is a builder and was up this weekend so he was able to put in a ramp for us so dad can leave the house.

He is starting IV chemo next week, so we'll see how that goes.

Well I haven't given an update in a while. Things were going really great until just recently. We found out today though that the tumor is growing back yet again, so we are waiting to see if Gamma Knife can be done again.
