Post from Ken.  1:30pm on Tues 5/29.  Sandi, Nat, Aunt Angie and I met with Dr. Hervey-Jumper.  He said that Stu did great and the tumor was "well behaved" that wasn't connected to any vascular tissue which is good news.  They removed almost all of the brain tumor (except for the parts that are right next to speech parts of the brain).  They said it was most likely a Glioma (it's a whole family).  He said it will take a few more days to get the pathology results to verify it's a Glioma and see what grade of tumor it is.  Stu did so well that they may do the biopsy on the Pituitary tumor before he leaves later this week.  We are hoping for that tumor to be a simple benign tumor.  Stu will likely be watching the Warriors game this Thursday from the hospital and we're going to make the room up to be a Champions Room, because that's what he is.

  2. YAY Stu! (this autocorrected to Stud,maybe I should have left it??) We are thinking positive healing vibes for you and know that you will be good to go in no time.

    Let us know if you want to chat about the pituitary thing, Dave has gone through that procedure and is happy to share.

  3. HI, thanks for the update. So relieved to hear the news. I'm going to mail a Warriors play off T-shirt to Nat so that she can bring it up to Stu to wear on Thursday.

  6. Great news indeed, Ken! Atta boy Stu. It is only fitting that I had the chance to watch the Warrior game yesterday at the hospital, along with Sandi and Dave S. Stu is definitely a Warrior!
