    Options narrowing

    Gamma knife is off the table because tumor too low below brain. Met with Cyberknife doc here in STL yesterday and he said he wanted to "take a shot at it" but did not offer much optimism and was filled with very risky side effects to the point that I must consider quality of life. Proton therapy is next investigation (MD Anderson or Indiana Univ). Dr. at Mayo calling back Monday or Tuesday, team is reviewing now. Other than some anxiety, I really feel good physically. Occasional headache where tumor is. Doctor yesterday asked when those headaches started and I said "when they told me it was there". I have a strong faith, loving and supportive family and have been blessed with the ability to travel where and when needed for tx. if there is one. Will keep you all posted.
