Well folks, the report today was not a good one. The tumor has grown. The two tumors have grown into one big mass, and there is swelling around it. They are going to start Dad back on the steroid to help with the swelling. We talked with Dr. Birdwell about our options, but we are going back to MDA on Monday to meet with the doctors and get their opinion/guidance. Surgery may be an option. It would not remove all of the tumor, only a portion of it. A second option would be to try another type of Chemo that would make him sick. This would have to be done at MDA.
We will have some decisions to make in the next few days, and while we want to try everything possible, we also have to consider quality of life. The road ahead is not going to be easy, BUT we have a God who will never leave us or forsake us and we fully trust Him to carry us through.
As always-Thank you for your support and prayers-We appreciate it more than you know. Please pray for the doctors to guide us in the right direction, and for us to have wisdom to make the right decision.

I am so sorry that the results are not what you prayed for; I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
I have been so encouraged by reading your blog; your faith is so very evident in all that you write.
One of my favorite verses is: God is our refuge and strength an ever present help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1
Blessings to all of your family.
