Several people have asked about Dad's condition. We are thankful to report that since last May he has had 4 scans which show no new brain tumors. The oral drug he has been taking since September has been effective in bringing down the cancer marker and stopping the other tumors from growing. There was a blip up in the cancer marker recently, so the doctor has ordered a brain scan and PET scan before his next appointment in March. The doctor can still find no signs of cancer on physical examination. Thanks so much for your prayers!
