Ashman (Bill),
Great to hear from you! I am glad that things are going better and that the steroids aren't giving you any problems. I guess this is somewhat a walk in the dark, we never know how our bodies are going to react to the treatment. It is good to hear that things are not too bad -- I definitely believe you on your way to recovery.
We have a busy month in June, so I opted to schedule my CK in July. My symptoms seem to be changing lately, I had about a week of feeling really great, my hearing seemed to improve, my tinnitus quieted down a little bit and the pressure seemed to disappear. Things have worsed a little this week, but it has been a stressful week. Stress seems to really affect how I feel. Dr. Soltys showed me my tumor on the computer and it is actually bigger than what UCSF had told me it was.
My son is really glad that I am moving forward with the treatment and not staying in the watch and wait. He is planning to move to Southern California at the end of summer and wants me to be on the way to recovery before he leaves.
Looking forward to hearing about your continued recovery. I would also love to hear about how your wife and children are doing with all of this.
Bobette
