We're headed back to the Sugar Land airport.
Dr. C was guardedly pleased with the damage done by the chemo and radiation. The Damm Spot is about the same size as in January, which is good news if you consider it could have grown. Even better is the hole in the middle of the tumor, now filled in with water instead of cancerous cells.
Steve is surprised by the news, as he was braced for the worst. His spirits are good.
I'll update more when we get home. Thanks for checking on Steve!

January 2008
Beloved and gentle husband, daddy, son, brother, friend, co-worker and neighbor who battled brain cancer -- a glioblastoma in the brain stem that we call Spot. That Damm Spot was released with Steve's peaceful passing on September 7, 2009.
