I am thankful to report that I was able to bring Ric home on Friday night.  We met with the surgeon on Friday afternoon to discuss the results of the MRI.  Ric unfortunately has 2 new tumours...which are located in the front and the back of the pre-existing tumour.  The surgeon can remove the tumours...but this is an aggressive tumour, which may come back again.  We are going to meet with the oncology team on Tuesday morning...they did not even come to talk to Ric while he was in the hospital for the 2 days.  I am very unhappy with this...I am sure you can tell!  I guess to their defence, they wanted to wait until an expert read the MRI to talk to Ric about possible options for future treatment. If surgery is the decision we will contact the surgeon...in which he will move quickly to have this done procedure done for Ric in timely fashion.  We will have more news on Tuesday...which we will update at that point.  Right now Ric is able to eat, and is virtually headache free...his biggest problem is his neck.  He seems to have a lot of neck pain...we think from laying about for several weeks prior to the emergency hospital visit.  Chelsea helped pick out a neck massager for her daddy...we hope this will help...along with my icey hands.
