Quick Update
Conner's started school after Labor day and is doing very well. Just the normal kinds of problems of panhypopituitarism.
His MRI in May/June showed no regrowth.
His endocrinologists are talking about introducing growth hormone around the end of 2006/beginning of 2007.
One note though.
The craniotomy and radiation therapy took him a long time to recover from. 6-7 months. Both are dramatic insults to the physical body, and also to the patient's spirit. I didn't understand this, so if you are in a similar situation, and your child has been having a rough time of it after treatment, just keep on helping them and remember that it's going to take a while.
