    My Mom had MRI scans of her brain taken last week and the results were great. Nothing new to report and while they are watching 2 with edema it all still looks great.  She has been driving since January, take a vacation for her 79th birthday to the Bahamas' and is looking forward to visiting my Nephew in Sweeten this summer.  So, all is great on her end thanks to the doctors at USC. 

    — 1 week shy of the 1 year anniversary of her last gamma knife treatment for 17 new brain mets. – 8 treated in Dec of 2013.

    — The tumors in her trunk (originally 6) have done nothing but shrink or disappear. So, we are keeping our fingers crossed that the next appointment in May to her oncologist will show the same.   

    I wish everyone had these results today, but they will one day.
