Rick's Holding Steady!!!

Rick and Tami had a long but exciting day yesterday with the doctors at Sloan Kettering.It was a family affair with Brady, Casey and Linda/Andy (Rick's sister/nephew) all in attendance!!  Dr. Abery felt that Rick's scan showed no change and actually may have improved - Great News!!  Exactly what everyone wants to hear!!

Instead of starting Avastin now, Rick will "stay the course" and stick with Temodar for another month as it appears to be working for him.  His steroid taper started today and Rick hopes to be off of those nasty things in a few weeks!  It should be a nice quiet 5 weeks for the Schneiders and they for sure have earned it!!

Happy almost 4th of July!!
