We all had a wonderful day at Nick's Ph.D. graduation in computer science at Penn today. Meg and Andrew flew to Philadelphia on Friday, poked around town on Saturday, spent a lovely Sunday afternoon watching Nick graduate, then had the rest of the day with Nick and Dan. More pictures here.

In brief
Meg Holmes was diagnosed with brain cancer on Dec. 12, 2009. Andrew Taylor, her husband, is using this blog to tell friends what's going on. She had brain surgery at Swedish Hospital, Cherry Hill, in Seattle completed a one year clinical trial and enjoyed a very active symptom-free 15 months.
An MRI in early March 2011 showed tumor progression. Meg had a second brain surgery, and a couple more surgeries to try to help the surgical incision heal. Further chemotherapy and antibody treatments didn't really help, and the tumor continued to grow.
