growth

A brief update.  Rich's scan earlier in the week revealed growth in the tumor.  

Not nice.  

The plan, as of now: Go to New York on Tuesday, meet with neurosurgeon, and set a date for "decompression" surgery.  Then, recovery; perhaps followed by chemotherapy, although no chemo has been shown effective against chordoma.

Meanwhile, we eat blueberries, drink wine, and enjoy the last days of summer.
