Most of the patients with CNS do not live past a certain point, and my father has just fought tooth and nail. I wanted to say I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers. He's not thru the woods yet though. He's lost most of his short term memory which is so disheartening, but he can remember things that happened months ago. So I guess it could be worse and he'd be completely amnesiatic. My sister who I recently helped move to Atlanta, had a change of heart and moved back to Little Rock to watch after my dad. My father's wife, Sherry, offered to pay my sisters bills if she would come and look after dad throughout the day. I think my dad is happier with Megan at home rather than a hospice nurse all the time. Anyway...that's the update, and I love you guys.

WB. I'm glad to hear about your dad, and I'm sure you're right about Megan.
My grandma had that, as well (I don't know if it was CNS, but she had lymphoma), and she's been fine for about...3 years now? So it's a great sign that your dad is doing well.
