Status update: Troy had his follow up appointment yesterday at UW. His staples were removed & incision scar looks great. The pathology results indicate the tumor is a low grade, stage two astrocytoma. This is good news because low grade means less aggressive and there are 4 stages, so stage 2 is good. The neurological oncologist recommends proton radiation for 6 weeks and then 1 year of chemotherapy (TMZ) pill form. We are digesting all the information and recommendations & formulating our game plan. Thank you to everyone for all the warm wishes and prayers. It means the world to Troy.
