This is a prayer request on behalf of my wife.
She has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, the same kind that Ted Kennedy had.
She will be operated on next week. She's in for testing right now.
I may or may not be able to get to a computer.
Sorry, I can't compose and type very well right now.
Thanks for the update as prayers continue...
My sister, unfortunately, had this.
Prayers & best wishes.
Prayers lifted for your wife and family.
Again, more thanks than I can say for all your prayers.
I wrote in Post 131 that my wife had a Glioblastoma Grade 4 brain tumor; that the surgeon said he was able to remove all of the malignant tumor; and that she would soon start radiology and chemo therapy.
She completed the radiology and after a wait for side effects to subside, had a post radiology MRI that will serve as a baseline for future MRIs.
This MRI showed no new cancerous growth, but there is one spot that concerns the doctors. They said this spot showed up in an MRI immediately after surgery and that it is unchanged since then, but still it concerns them. They did not say it was malignant. All I can say is "time will tell".
My wife will have MRIs periodically and will have chemotherapy several days a month for a while.
She still doesn't have good use of her right side, still has periods of weakness, and still needs a wheelchair, but she is much improved.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers (please continue) and thanks to God for all of you.
