Today is some pretty good news.  Dad's results came back yesterday, and it appears that the tumors have diminished is size slightly.  While this doesn't mean remission, it means that he's been able to keep the cancer from spreading and growing, so that's good news.  He's had 7 treatments, and was scheduled for his 8th yesterday.  But they decided to postpone it for a week until next week.  We knew this would be a long, hard battle, so he'll keep plugging along and doing his best.  He's in good spirits, his mind is still in good shape, he still gets angry and perturbed at times (that's a good sign) and he's physically mobile.  The contract on the Woodwind house has been finalized and it's moving along nicely.  Inspection will be this week, and if all goes well, closing by the end of this month.  This will be a great burden off of dad, and he said he'll sleep better at night.  We will probably be having an estate sale on the weekend of the 27th-28th, and whatever is leftover will go to Goodwill or Salvation Army.  More later.
