A New Adventure Begins

We are so fortunate to live in a time when health care and technology are as advanced as they are. The MRI machine alone is a miracle worker and it doesn't even treat anything! What I am trying to say is that Bryon's tumor is still at bay and considered stable. We have been warned it will return someday, but Bryon has already lived long enough to be in a time and place that will give him the best opportunity for treatment and a healthy future. The doctor has stated that the drug trial is officially over since their is nothing left to experiment on and that Bryon will not be eligible for the drug in the future. Not to worry though, there are drugs now on the market that are as effective or more so than the drugs he was receiving. The new drugs are based on the additive that Bryon was on in conjunction with his traditional chemo. So things are looking up for Bryon and all the others we know with this strange tumor. I hope everyone knows that a person can live with this tumor now, it isn't an immediate death sentence anymore, like it was only two or three years ago. Bryon is moving on to a new adventure of living living with a tumor, and he improves every day. Speech, motor function, memory, attention span; it is all getting better with time and the proper attitude.
