I did not drive down the weekend before last, however I did drive down on Thursday as opposed to me my usual Friday this week, in order to be there to talk with her oncologist.
There is some signs via an MRI that the tunor is progressing, or that it could be contrast from bacteria infection. I am going with tumor, as she as been on plenty of the very potent antibiotics.
Anyway, her mental status during the day at the clinic (labs, MRI, Dr visit) was better than normal, showing a lot of attention etc, and some small verbal.
Since then , maybe a little slowdown, although hard to perceive. We were hoping that the gains would continue.
Because of the chance the tumor is re-emerging, she will be put on new chemo this week, (Avastin). which brings its own set of problems, primarily the risk of clotting.
All of us are carefully watching her condition.
Thanks for all your support,
Scott
Scott, I just checked your blog this a.m. for any updates as you have been on our minds and in our prayers. Love to you both!
Thanks for the update, Scott. We think about her (and you!) every day.

Scott,
Thanks for update. I am regularly thinking about you and Pat. Keep up the hope. Give a hug to Pat for me and let her know that I am thinking about her. Please let me know when I can come and visit her. I don’t mind driving there. Redy
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mickey and Bob
Bob and I think about you all every day and keep you in our hearts.
Love,
