good news

Hello everyone. We know it has been a while, but we have been holding out on updating until today. Sean had an MRI on Monday and we met with Dr. Fine today. Now, a month after starting Avastin, the results have been great! The tumor is greatly reduced in size and we are seeing improvements in the scans. Unfortunately, Sean's symptoms have not improved very much but the doc did say that he will be able to go down to 1 milligram of steroids as opposed to the 2 he is on now, which he is very excited about. Thank you so much for all of the positive thoughts and prayers, every little bit helps and we could not be more thrilled with these results! Please keep praying and sending good thoughts!

oops!

I know it has been so long since there has been an update! I apologize. Thank you to those of you who continue to check, even though I have been neglecting this.

Anyway, things are going well. Sean is doing about the same. He started his Avastic treatment on Monday, but doesn't feel better yet! We don't expect to know if there is any change in the tumor until the end of the month when he has an MRI and consultation with the doctor. But he is trying to keep his spirits up and get through this, as we all are.

Work, for me, is great! I love the kids, love the people that I work with and am enjoying going to work everyday (although I never thought I would say that!). It is going very well and I am learning a lot, still, and getting to put into practice all of the things I have already learned.

Other than that, everything here is pretty much at the status quo, nothing is really changing at this point. So we hope to see everyone at some point or another and I will try to be better about posting updates to the blog! Stay safe and happy...
