Dad received a phone call today from his oncologist that another tumor has developed in his brain. It's about 1.6 cm in size and is located towards the back of the brain (his first brain tumor was towards the front).
The good news is that the doctors believe they can treat it. Currently, they are recommending that he has ten blasts of radiation. While we aren't sure when that will start, we do know that it will start soon.
Dad has a follow up appointment next week to meet with his Brain Surgeon and we will have more details then.
While this came as a surprise, dad is in good spirits....I'm sure that doesn't surprise many of you. The attitude we all have is that we can do something about this and that's a good thing.
