Out Of ICU...Moving Forward

Karyn was moved out of ICU today and onto the 8th floor at UCSF. Her
condition has stabilized to the point where she no longer needs the
level of care that they provide on the 11th floor.

Jim and I met with Dr. Parsa this morning and discussed the most
recent MRI results with him. While there was no real growth in the
tumor mass, he is fearful that there may be activity going on on a
cellular level. Therefore, the plan is to focus all efforts on
getting her off antibiotics and back on chemo----most likely Temodar.
For the next few days he will be monitoring her neuro symptoms and
seeing how the shunt is effecting her.

Hopefully we will have more news soon....
