The news on dad isn't good. He has a glioblastoma multiforme or GBM (the longer the name the worse the prognosis). This is a bad actor. It is aggressive, but does respond to radiation. How well he is going to do physically is related to how well he recovers post op, not to radiation therapy (Radtx). Radtx only keeps the tumor at bay. It can shrink tumor but the tumor was excised and there is none to shrink so no improved function can be anticipated by radtx.
He was definitely improved over the past two days. His speech is understandable and he is moving his right hand some but without dexterity. He walked a few steps. We anticipate further improvement. News to follow in this space.
The newscasters are anticipating rain; I am anticipating the need for a fire; everyone else anticipates the need for smoke masks, fire trucks, oxygen, etc. they won't tell me why. the tension is building. More in this space. BB
