MRI Results: Good!
The MRI results are in. Jacob's tumor has shunk down to 13% of its former size.
Current size: 1.4 x 1.9 x 1.1 cm = 2.9 cm3
Former size: 3.1 x 3.3 x 2.2 cm = 22.5 cm3
Yes!
He's doing great in general.
We had a tremendously positive and helpful meeting with the teachers at Nueva, and he's getting back into the swing of things. Chemo's been put off til a week from today (after he finishes antibiotics,) so he should get a good week of school, at least half each day.
PS for those mathematically inclined - yes I realize that the tumor is unlikely to be a rectangular solid, and that a closer approximation would have been an inscribed ovoid, but the proportion is the same.

I can picture Nueva being quite a challenge part time! I hope it's fun for Jacob when he can get there. Fabulous news about the shrinking ovoid.
