I was really hoping this would be good.

But it wasn't.

**Sigh** Seems like lately nothing can go right. Got more bad news yesterday from the radiation oncologist. He's afraid to treat the spot at the base of John's skull. Seems it's right up against his optic never & brain stem.... He's supposed to be sending in a referral to a neurosurgeon to see if it can be done using a gamma knife...

AND... they couldn't read the scans from MD Anderson & can't start radiation on his spine, etc without them so we're on hold until they can request new copies or figure out how to read the ones on disk and/or online. So there's no relieving the gosh-awful back pain he's experiencing without drugging him out of his ever lovin' mind on opiods. :-(

After Houston, I told the kids we'd be lucky to have him 3 more months. I don't think we're going to get even that long at this rate.
