So we made it over the mountain. Good thing Joan's a good driver because it was quite scary. Took us four hours just to get over the mountain - not even to Auburn... And snow + walker = no bueno.
Our trip to Stanford did not go quite as planned. We were basically told that Cyberknife is not the way to go - so we should do regular radiation, which will be done in Reno. Which is a good thing. I don't know what I would have done if I had to go to Stanford for treatment. Was also told to do steroids, but not the ones that go in your veins like I did previously. These are just a pill. Was also told that radiation might not make the tumor smaller or go away. It will probably only stop it from growing. So that really, really sucks. We're still hopeful that it might shrink - we're not giving up on a cure.
I'm also starting PT and OT next week. If I can get back to walking with a cane and being more independent - that'd be enough for me. So that what I'm working on and that's my goal. Still am not allowed to drive myself, so might have to bum rides from folks. ;0)
