Harold is out of surgery and his surgeon just came out to give me the report. He said Harold came through fine, was awake and talking, and that I will get to see him in a few minutes.
Our surgeon was encouraged by what he saw today. None of the tissue in either surgical site looked like active cancer. Instead it looked like necrotic or dead tissue. Labs will confirm this but it appears the gamma knife treatments are doing their job. Our medical team isn't sure why some of Harold's treated tumors linger to cause irritation and swelling instead of being absorbed away. Unfortunately some do, but it is clear we are making progress in stopping the spread of new tumors in his brain.
