TitsMcGee Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 *huggles* 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.
FarrIL Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Sorry I didnt see this until now. But glad to hear your dad is doing well. Hopefully he regains strength on his left side. =)
the eternal Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I always pray for you and your dad. I'll do it until things are better.
TitsMcGee Posted June 9, 2010 Author Posted June 9, 2010 The tumor is growing back. Most likely starting radiation again and another surgery in the future.
Nienna Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I'm so sorry honey. You and your dad are in the prayers of me and my family every day. Let us know if we can help at all.
hunhee Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Ugh.. this sux.. I'm sorry hon. You and your family are in my thoughts nearly every day lately.
TitsMcGee Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 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.
~Tszura~ Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Wow, that sounds intense. So glad he's getting positive and hopeful results! Positive and healing energy to your dad, you, and your family in getting through this.
TitsMcGee Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 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.

TitsMcGee Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 We just found out this morning that he's not a candidate for Gamma Knife so he has to have brain surgery again to get the tumor out.
~Tszura~ Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I'm so sorry :( Our positive thoughts and prayers will continue!
