Been meaning to update for a while. In the beginning of Dec my dad's blood tests came back with levels suggesting the tumor has returned. He'd been dealing with head pain so not a total surprise. He's been on medication to shrink it since and the levels have been dropping so hopefully it's working ok. Had to take him into the ER Christmas eve and he ended up in the hospital til Sat afternoon after Christmas. Grateful that it's been the first hospitalization since the beginning of the year at least. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes, Happy New Year everyone.

Chad

My dad has been after me to update the forum for a while. It seems the tumor continues to grow per test numbers but he's not doing to badly at the moment. Sight improved a small bit but nothing major, neck is an ongoing struggle.
Still hanging in there and things haven't been getting worse at least.

I haven't been here long, but I do value his posts from the threads I have read doing research on various topics. May not mean much in overall scheme of things, but I appreciate his contributions. Thank him for me, if you could.

Well it's been a long time since update and my dad asks about the forum occasionally so I thought I'd post up. His prolactin numbers are way down as of last blood tests which should mean the tumor is shrunk down pretty hard. His sight remains blurry and narrow although with small improvements. No hospital visits in over a year. He's been enjoying using a Kioti with a loader and stump bucket to take down a bunch of trees this year. Sight limits him there but it's been going pretty well.
