Rainy June Doesn't Stop Rick!!

On Tuesday, Rick and Tami came back to NY from Nantucket to meet with their new doctor - Dr Lisa DeAngelis. Dr DeAngelis is the Chair of Neurology at Sloan-Kettering and will be taking care of Rick from now on since their previous doctor moved to Switzerland. The scan they did on tuesday continues to show no tumor activity and be exactly what everyone was hoping for!! Dr DeAngelis is pleased with how well Rick is doing and, at some point could see stopping the Temodar and/ or Avastin. Tami questioned the doctor about other things
(eg supplements, fish oils, etc) that Rick could try but she felt " Rick looks amazing, why change a thing?"

For now, Rick's treatments will continue as they have been and the next update will be in September.

Tami and Rick are off to Maine this weekend to pick Brady up from camp and then they will visit Casey next weekend at Takajo. From there it is back to ACK and the Gorgeous Gal.

Have a great rest of the summer and if anyone is in Nantucket stop by and visit with the Schneiders!!
