I thought I had posted since last Friday...but apparently not.  I just went back to double check.  Too weird.  I really thought I had posted.  Time just seems to disappear and the days blend together.

Its Tuesday the day after Monday (you should be saying, um, DUH).  I'll have to be quick.  Same ol' story as before.  I'm woefully behind on a million projects and the clock is still ticking away.  So, I'll cut to the chase.  Monday we met with Dr. Birhirray, the oncologist.  He had the MRI and the CT test results from Friday.  And as anticipated, Roger still has cancer.  The MRI revealed the tumors in Roger's brain have reduced in size.  Can't say if the number has reduced any or not but the good news is the tumors have shrunk.  What's the bad news?  (does there always have to be bad news?)  The tumors in Roger's chest have grown.  They haven't doubled or anything like that but they have grown in size.  So, as has been the case for a long time, no real peace or easing of mind.  Just the status quo.  Up down up down.  We didn't really discuss treatment options per se.  The only option is chemo for the chest tumors and chemo was impossibly hard on Roger and almost landed him in the hospital.  We all have fears, including the doctor, that Roger couldn't tolerate chemo again.  We are going to go back in 6 weeks and will see what the world is at that point.

Tomorrow morning is meeting with the radiation oncologist.  We'll see what he has to say.  Obviously his focus is the radiation part of treatment.  I don't believe more radiation is an option at this point.  Tomorrow will tell more. 

Its a short post.  Roger is slumping over in his chair across from me and I have a pile of files needing attention next to me.  Time to scoot him off to bed and circle back to my files. 

hug yourselves from us.
