So glad your feeling better about Rob,I'm sure he was under the influence of
the tumou when he was being a bit naughty, tumours tend to do that to people
Cheers that things go really well from here on in Jean.P.

Yay! Glad its good news.

Stress and steroids are *not* a good combination. Steroids can make people
very aggresive and short tempered whilst at the same time leaving htem
feeling very empowered (after a long time of feeling like crap, you

suddenly
feel *great*).

Occasionally Ihave to take prednisone because of my asthma, and its like
I've got permanant PMS in mood, but feel like I could take on the world
(which of course makes it worse)

UPDATE: We finally got hold of Dr Ewend's secretary, who had Dr Ewend
call us back. Dr Ewend was in surgery all day yesterday, so couldn't
get hold of us, and we couldn't get hold of him.

Anyway, the news is the best possible right now. The specialists
(radiology pathologists specializing in brain tumors) agree with Dr
Ewend that there is no signs that the tumor has grown. The recommended
course now is to give Rob a course of large doses of temodar (I never
spell this correctly) for a year, as a precaution to make sure the
sucker is dead, nag at Rob to KEEP TAKING HIS MEDS, and keep in eye on
him. After a year, or as long as he can tolerate the stuff, whichever
comes first, Rob will be taken off the Temodar. We're still on MRIs
every two to three months, and regular visits with the drs. I'm
beginning to think I need to cross cross stitch a picture for them.

I think now that the bad temper and inappropriate comments were because
of stress and the steroids. Rob really doesn't remember saying any of
those shocking comments or blowing up at anyone. I believe him. Rob
has always admitted to any thing he's done, so long as he remembers it.



Pam S. really relieved
