So as Fran mentioned the sir-sphere procedure went well. Dr. Nosher told me that the scan they took immediately following the procedure showed the intense uptake of the spheres in the tumor. That's great news. Now we just sit and wait.
I am doing fine. Could feel better could feel worse. I came home from Chris and Kate's a bit early cause I just couldn't take being away from the kids any longer, though it was hard to leave a place where you are waited on hand and foot and with so much love. It was also great to hang out with Chris and Kate which is something I don't get to do very often. Thank you guys (and Steve and Gio) for sharing your home and taking such good care of me.
In the interest of any other readers who might be getting this procedure, or are just curious, the recovery isn't that bad. Though I have decided today that I hate physical recovery in all forms it's annoying and always takes longer than you think and so on, and so on, complain, complain, complain. The biggest thing is I have very low energy and no appetite. I feel kind of nauseous but I think that's because of my appetite being off.
Anyway that's about it. Fran took great care of the kids, doing all their school stuff and keeping them happy and comforted. Thanks to all our family and friends for your support. We really appreciate it and it helps us more than you can ever know.
Love,
Karen

Karen Thanks for update. It is always great to hear from you. It is wonderful that you are back home. I can imagine Fran and the kids giving you a big welcome. They miss you so much when away.
I am keeping up the prayers and send you lots of good wishes. Love Jo (Nenagh)
Thanks for the update. Great to hear the good news. Glad you're back home with the kids & Fran. They help the healing no doubt when you have enough energy to be back with them. It's wonderful to know you have all that support from your own family on the journey. Love galore & God bless. Brigid
