"JBHajos" wrote 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. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

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. Pam, Rob, and the Fayetteville Seven Good news! Continuing purrs. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. |

"LOL" wrote in message om... (JBHajos) wrote in message . .. 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. So we understand full well the ordeal and anxiety you and Rob have been through. We'll be thinking of you all. Jeanne Oh no! Purrs and prayers are on their way. ------ Krista 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. Tweed |
