Not a whole lot to report….we've just been waiting for enough time to go by to get a good idea of how well Dan's radiation treatment has worked. He's had two brain MRI's in the past two months. The tumor hasn't shrunk, but it hasn't grown either. His oncologist has scheduled the next MRI for the end of April. It can take up to 6 months for radiation to work on a tumor and his doctor thinks we just need to give it some time. Dan is feeling good and hasn't been suffering from any headaches-a good sign.
For the lung, Dan is scheduled to have a chest scan at the end of April as well. This will be the first scan since his treatment. He's had no issues with the lung radiation and never developed any side effects. We are hopeful that all is well and his chest scan will show the tumors have shrunk and no new growth. But, as has become the norm, we just have to wait.
In the meantime, we are staying busy with everyday stuff. Jack is almost done with Kindergarten (the year has flown by!), Dan is staying busy with work, and I am working and taking a class at Boise State. We just finished a great visit with some friends from Minnesota and Dan's mom, and are enjoying the spring like weather is this part of the country.
Hope you all are well- I'll update again after the next round of tests!
