I had a busy week of scans in Mid-May - an MRI for the brain at NYU and a full CT scan for the body at Sloan. As previously posted, the brain scan did pick up a new tumor, albeit a tiny, treatable "blip on the radar" and I had Gamma Knife surgery on that last Monday am. Gamma Knife Surgery is a remarkable, state of the art procedure that I'm in absolute awe of. I'm so fortunate and grateful to live in a time where geniuses are revolutionizing medicine and treatment with such mind-blowing advancements. There is literally no incision - it is completely "noninvasive" ( although they do have to screw a helmet unto your head to keep it completely steady - sill a little sore from that, but a small price to pay ).. I will go back in a few months for a follow up brain scan so we can confirm / celebrate its success and make sure no new blips have arisen.
Generally, when I do a full CT scan on the body, we meet with the docs a few days after to go through results. This time, however, we had to delay a couple of weeks so we could get my noggin addressed.
We met with the docs in Sloan yesterday afternoon, and Im so encouraged with the news. Throughout this journey, I have tried my best to keep positive and confident - family and friends have been immensely encouraging towards this.. The initial couple months, frankly, were a bit of a mental struggle and a fight to stay positive - but not anymore.. 99% of my days are nothing but smiles, good vibes, appreciation for every little thing, and LOVE.. the only time I get a little panicked anymore is the night before we go in for results. The docs immediately put me at ease when they walk in and tell me how good and healthy I look. The remaining tumors are not growing... Most are shrinking, including the "genesis" tumor in my colon that is now down 20% - this is great news. For now, we are going to stay the course and keep treatment the same..
We introduced a new med to my chemo cocktail a few cycles ago - one that is designed to choke off tumors from metastisizing further. Since I had the recent brain blip, we are going to keep this med in the cocktail .. Unfortunately, this Is the med with the scariest side effects ( stroke concerns among others ) but we are going aggressive.. It means I will have to be a bit more patient for awhile in regards to being back to my old self ( driving Doreen nuts with this one ) , and take it easy / low stress. Im dying to get back on the mountain bike , run, and get back to work full time, but I have to make smart decisions right now. I love coaching Jimmy in baseball, but I can't be mixing it up on the field and have to stay on bench and encourage. I love my nightly "Dance battles" with Gigi, but I prob have to dial it back a bit on some of my more dynamic , hyper-kinetic signature moves 
.. I have way too much , and too many , to live for to risk not listening to the ingenious doctors ( and brilliant wife ) who know far more than I could ever fathom. Im not going to complain once until that next scan in 6 weeks - then hopefully we can dial that med back..
Looking forward to hanging with family and friends in the beautiful weather and enjoying the kids .. I got this..
Im far from out of the woods, but im more determined than ever to keep knocking down trees and anything else in my path until this is in the rear view ... Full steam ahead ... LOVE LOVE LOVE
