Not clear if the Avastin is doing any good (MRI at end of June will show that) but it doesn't seen to be hindering wound healing too much: a couple of people peered at the incision last Wednesday, and will decide when/if the next Avastin will be infused.
Meg stays at home, typically reading or snoozing on the couch, and making Shannon think she's gone to cat heaven. Her wound continues to drain, and her head continues to hurt, but she bears it all with her normal stoicism. She has little energy or enthusiasm for outings, but does enjoy visitors. She was particularly impressed by Andrew's boss (Gerry) and his wife (Vicki) who turned up on Saturday night with a complete meal, which they shared with us, then washed the dishes, tidied up and withdrew gracefully when they sensed that Meg was getting tired. Shannon continues to enjoy the box they brought the food in.
Assorted friends and relations are scheduled to stay with us: our son Nick for the Memorial Day weekend, followed by Meg's mom (Jean) , who will be here from June 8 - 12th and will overlap briefly with our daughter Ely (June 11 - 15) who will leave just before Cathie Cooper, a friend from Meg's undergraduate days, comes to visit. Cathie will be here from the 15th to about the 18th, and is promising to cook up a storm and fill our freezer.They'd be happy to share Meg with you, should you wish to stop by. I go to the lab most days, except when I'm ferrying Meg to medical appointments, and often come home for lunch, so you might see me as well. Call us at home (206-323-5929) or Andrew's iPhone (206-660-3592) if you're coming over.
Medical news, as I noted, is ongoing chemotherapy, probable Avastin and an MRI and appointment with the neuro-oncologist on June 20th to see how things are going.
Thanks for the update, and glad to hear that the company is helping things along. Hope you see some progress on the medical front soon.
