We get our son's MRI results back today.
Please pray that Rob's brain tumor hasn't grown back today as feared. His MRI early in the summer was inconclusive and perhaps just a bad "Slice".

5. I'm so sorry to hear that
One wonder what all the Billions we have wasted in Iraq & Afghanistan would have done for Cancer research.

At least I do.

18. My thoughts and prayers go to your sister and Rob.
I'm currently going through treatment for BC myself. Thankfully, I have medical coverage through the government. I'm sure you know how astronomical the costs are.

Guess that makes me a socialist. :hi:

6. good luck...brain MRIs are really
nervewracking. I had one last year, because of dizziness. Since I'm a 32 year old woman, the immediate worry was MS (it wasn't). Scared the crap out of me.
Best wishes to your family and your son.

44. Thank your for your prayers and kind thoughts today.
Edited on Wed Aug-19-09 09:25 PM by sellitman
Tuesday Rob goes back to Yale Hospital to remove the tumor they found. It is believed to be a few cells that were from the first tumor a year and a half ago, and therefor not malignant. Because it is near his speech center they will spend a whole day mapping his brain with a silicone mesh implanted with electonics before operating. This will prolong the time under the knife and such but give the surgeon a better shot at removing all of it this time while keeping his speech center intact.

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT TODAY.

Please keep the mojo going through next Thursday.

It couldn't hurt.

He is braver than his folks tonight

Kevin
