Second report

I wanted to try and give you a more detailed update. Doctor Loghin at MDA explained to us that surgery is not an option. The tumor is located mostly in the temporal lobe, but it fingers down into the frontal lobe. They could remove the portion that is in the temporal lobe, but there would be no benefit since they cant get it all. There are no clinal trials available at this time which is one thing I was hoping for. That leaves us with one option-Radiation.Dad will do that for six weeks, Monday through Friday and he will have the weekends off. At the end of the six weeks they will see how the tumor is reacting and we are hoping and praying that it gets smaller. At that time they will decide what to do from there. There is no way to "cure" this. These types of tumors always grow back. BUT we serve a big God who is our healer. He performs miracles everyday so we are in no way giving up or feeling down. Dad's spirits are just as high and he is ready to fight it! Mom and Dad will be staying with me during the time that he receives radation treatmeat. I told mom she could cook, clean and do my laundry!!! Just kidding, I dont want her to worry about anything but taking care of Dad. I am truly blessed with wonderful parents and I am thankful for the time that they will be staying with me! Please continue to lift them up in prayer and pray that God will wrap His arms around them and hold them when they feel like they can't go on. I found this poem today and wanted to share it with you, I am so thankful for the hope that we have through Christ....

Cancer is so limited..
Cancer cannot cripple love,
Cancer cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode Faith,
In cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
it cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
IT CANNOT CONQUER THE SPIRIT.
