Didn't know about the 2nd operation. Eyesight the same, - this means sending even more healing vibes and thoughts Andy's way.

Many out here are thinking of you and we are rooting for you, and sending strength to Beth too.

andy had a 2nd operation around the first of the year to de-bulk the growing tumor. it left him with diminished sight, especially in his left eye. this was an expected outcome of the op. it was hoped that the sight might improve after the swelling went down, but unfortunately this has not happened.

he says that his sight overall is "fogy"

we will be talking to them later today and K will give an update here for you all.

I just popped over to this board to see if there was any news as I think he was due for another scan this month. I so hope we will all be getting some positive news in the near future.
Keep sending those healing thoughts GPandas way.

Bob posted this on the Europe board:

GPANDA update… K had a discouraging e mail from beth today dated Tuesday… Andy had his normal scan and it showed substantial regrowth of the tumor.

She says his cognitive skills have deteriorated significantly and that “he is not himself”… We are distressed to hear this..

I miss Andy's great presence here and his delightful sense of humor. This is more distressing news. What a cruel disease for both Andy and Beth to bear. Thoughts and prayers...

The Cambridge sky is gloomy and after getting the sad news it has turned darker.

Dear Beth- If you are reading this please know how much we all are praying for both you and Andy. I think of you each evening as I scan the sky for falling stars to "wish upon".
