Is time flying for anyone else?

On Saturday I told myself that I would do an update "tomorrow." It's now nearly a week later. Not sure where the time went, but here we go:

I did talk with the neurologist at Mayo Clinic. He still thinks that the MRI is reflecting necrosis (treatment effect from the radiation). We will be heading up in a few weeks to see the neurologist and have another MRI taken, so we will see at that point how this is progressing. Still nothing new to treat (no way to really treat this necrosis outside of giving it time). No new chemo, no new medications, etc.

Dad's doing pretty well, but still tired and struggling with having the energy/strength to do what he'd really like to do. He's been going to physical therapy three times a week to build back up the muscle mass that has been zapped by the steroids. He's also been hanging out a bit more over with the grandkids, watching them all ride bikes in the driveway while he holds baby Kaitlyn. Who, of COURSE, already loves her Grandpa Dillon.

More after visit to Mayo Clinic - if not before.
