As some of you may know, I have been living in a state of slight anxiety over the past couple weeks awaiting an MRI reading from my neurosurgeon.  While speedy response is not part of his MO, and I know it, my oncologists had advised me that the MRIs looked suspicious.

I have now heard from Dr. Weingart and he confirms that there is a small mass that seems to be growing on the edge of the cavity left by the first surgery.  While it is small, it has grown since the last MRI in June.  He is not saying that it definitely is a reappearance of the tumor (which is not unusual with this type of tumor), but it is suspicious.  His counsel is for another MRI in two weeks and a review at that time.  I will keep you posted.  Prayers are appreciated.

Meanwhile, we are approaching the end of our annual two weeks at Pawleys Island, SC with family (see silly picture, attached).  It has been a bit stormy on the weather side, but great to be with kids and grands and on beach time for a while.  For those of you wondering our exact whereabouts, we are at Pawleys for the rest of the week, and go to Atlanta Sunday to help John and Anna with moving into their new house in Roswell.

We'll be back in Delaware sometime Labor Day weekend.

Wish we had better news, but we got what we got.

I'm feeling well and had a good round of golf with Troy on Monday - a 76 albeit from the seniors' tees.  And I still enjoy a good glass (or is that a glass of good) wine around dinner time.  I'm focusing on quality, not quantity right now.  Mo' bettah!  Looking forward to getting back to singing in the fall, but not the drive back from Atlanta on Labor Day weekend.

In the meantime, it's one day at a time.  And good days at that.

Cheers,

Ross
