Stability

That’s what my nurse asked me at discharge! 😂 Glad to report I am not noticing anything like that.

I’m home now. I’m feeling good – just tired. It will be good to rest this weekend.

No final results or reports to share. Now it’s a waiting game. In 3-6 months I might notice more symptoms if there is any swelling in my brain. If that happens, I am armed with a pack of steroids that they sent me home with. Then in 6 months, there will be a follow-up MRI and appointment to see if the radiation stopped the tumor from growing. It will still be in there and will slowly die off over time. I believe the term is necrosis.

On our way to the airport, we stopped at Mount Vernon to see yet another presidential estate.

I got to bring home the mask as a souvenir and the team at UVA wants me to be the first to actually make something out of it. Good thing I’m creative. Challenge accepted! 😂
