Left-Translab July '09. Cyberknife Jan 2010. In Apr 2017, four more tumors found; three in the brain and one, 7cm long, on my spinal cord; it was surgically removed. It was cancerous, and so are the others. I've been receiving Chemo since June '18, and I'm still in treatment.

Hey, Doc!  Glad your appointment went well with Gaye today!  And, yes, as you noted in your blog, our next meeting will be in the building she's in on 2/13 - we'll have a Valentine's theme :D 

Hope your recovery is now in an upward and onward direction and the bumps in the road you keep hitting are mainly behind you!

Thanks Cindy and Nancy...really starting to make some progress...I'm even set up to start Vestibular Retraining this coming Friday, first session, with an Emory University Trained Physical Therapist at the local OrthoSport Rehad Center who specializes in Vestibular issues...this is standing appointment for every Friday morning at 7:00 for the next twenty weeks!

Take Care!
