It is a miracle! We had such wonderful news from mom's neuro-oncologist. The results from the MRI showed us that her tumor has not grown in at least 8 weeks. Miraculously the "brightness" has even reduced (whatever that means). The tumor has not necessarily "shrunk" but since the swelling has gone down the images on the MRI were more accurate. This proves that the chemo and the radiation did the job it was intended to do!
Mom and I are currently at a 4 day quilt retreat in some random town in Texas. Besides the struggle of having to pack nearly half our possessions for this quilt retreat, mom is so happy to be with 15 of her friends and the opportunity to quilt all day for 4 days!
Mom is already planning every detail of Thanksgiving and delegating who is doing what which tells us one thing, "Vicki's back!"
The biggest challenge we have currently is getting mom to push herself in PT and OT as much as possible in order to maintain and hopefully gain more strength.
