We learned this past weekend that my brother's cancer has definitely
returned. He went through radiation treatment the first time and
everything seemed A-OK. Now that it's back, the doctor says his body
can't take radiation any more and he'll have chemo this time instead.

I'm very sorry to hear this, Jeanne. Many purrs for your brother, his
treatment, and all of your family.

We went up to see the Neurosurgeon, Dr Ewend, at UNC (Chapel Hill)
today, and he said that he doesn't think that Rob's tumor is coming
back. However, they're having Rob's MRI films reviewed by a group of
specialists this afternoon, and we'll find out what they say tomorrow.

If they agree with Dr Ewend, Rob will be put back on a course of
Temodar for as long as he can tolerate it, up to 12 months, just to
make sure the stuff is good and dead. If they decide that it is
warranted, a biopsy will be done to see if it is the same type of
tumor as before, and chemo will be decided on based on the biopsy.
Either way, it looks a lot better than we were afraid of. Your
purrs, prayers, good thoughts, and blessings have struck again.
Thank you everyone.

Good news! Continuing purrs.

So we understand full well the ordeal and anxiety you and Rob have
been through. We'll be thinking of you all.

Oh no! Purrs and prayers are on their way.

So sad for you Jeanne. Purrs and prayers from Kitty FC, BF and me.
It can work. It *does* work, these purrs and prayers.
Try and keep your brother positive. Once there was a mistake at my doctor's
and they sent me a letter which seemed to suggest I had cancer. I can
remember how I felt, absolutely panic-stricken. The letter arrived on a
Saturday and I couldn't find out anything until Monday. What a great
weekend I had.
Tell him we are thinking about him and wishing for a good outcome.
