We have a little mixed news from this week's test results. The labs were excellent. The platelets are in the "normal" range at 208.
We have a little mixed news from this week's test results. The labs were excellent. The platelets are in the "normal" range at 208.
The MRI
showed a 4 mm "spot." Not definitively anything yet, but a
"spot" worth watching. As a result, the next MRI will be in six
weeks.
Chemo
(temador) will be resumed at a lower dosage since the previous platelet
issue was quite serious.
We are
reminded of a verse we were given at the beginning of this journey to seek
divine guidance. The decisions are not
cut and dried and we desperately need the power of His Holy Spirit as we try to
assess the best of various alternatives.
We find solace in Isaiah 30: 21-22 that states:
Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the
water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes
you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the
left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in
it.”
We are
constantly reminded of his caring embrace of us as we go through this trial and
that he is showing us the way.

You had mentioned in the past not to send treatment information and as a person with lymphoma I understand what you are saying. However, I saw this article on a girl with seemingly your type of tumor and they used the polio virus to kill the tumor. Her diagnosis and prognosis was similar to yours. Here is the information: http://centurylink.net/tv/3/player/vendor/GeoBeats/player/fiveminute/asset/geobeats-college_students_brain_tumor_knocked_out_by_poliov-5min/source/Clips
Tim, your blog is such an inspiration. We are continuing to pray for you, Mary and your precious family -- and we send you all of our love!
