Neuro News

We had a great appointment with Dr. F., the neurosurgeon, on Thursday.  It was a follow up appointment from surgery.  Dr. F. showed us the brain CT scan from before the surgery and the brain CT from this past Wednesday. It was amazing to see the difference! The swelling from before the surgery pushed the  brain around a bit and filled in lots of spaces.  The most recent CT scan shows a return to a normal size. It was incredibly emotional for me to see such a difference - the first time in over 2 1/2 years to see a cancer free brain!!

Now we just wait for the CT results of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. I am not sure if we will have the results before our April 5 appt with Dr. H., but will blog when we have news. We can only hope for the same good news. We know that realistically there is always a possibility the news won't be as great, but we have to continue to hope that Callum will once again beat the odds!

Here is a picture of Callum with his planning "cheerios" on his head before the Jan. 26 surgery:

Please continue with all the positive thoughts and prayers!

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it. 
Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it.
Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it!"  Mother Teresa
