YIPPEE...MOVING FORWARD!!

Update on my son Levin and treatment plan.

Well, when we first diagnosed the presence

of the big fat ugly brain tumor I asked for

prayers and faith and what have you,

because without them it would have been so bad!!

Not once did I waiver or worry, because that never helps

anything. Can't stand worrying!! And for the past few days I felt

total peace, even joy about today's neurologist appt.

Before we went in I prayed for wisdom on everyone's

part, not ordinary human knowledge but real wisdom

and truth on this matter.

Treatment plan: In September they will go in

via upper gum, in and around and behind the nose

and excise via biopsy as much of the tumor as they

possibly can. So, no scars!!

Yippee!! because anything is better than an

open-skull craniotomy or that other thing.

Then, whatever is left, they will use the Gamma Knife

or Proton Beam (those are radiosurgery with lasers), better

than regular radiation therapy, I am told. Zap em!!

Then, he will be watched over carefully for any

recurrence, and of course you know what we'll do

if that ever happens.

I'm so happy because I can see a great outcome ahead!!

Now I just have to ease Levin's mind a little; so

much for him to think about.

love,

Cindy

Cindy sounds like they are going to do what happenned to my friend that had this type of tumor removed. Hers last I knew has never returned. Levin will be fine and I bet he is more than a bit scared however we will continue sending those prayers.

Love and Hugs

Mary

Thanks. Soon these young kids will learn to tame their

"imaginations"; I guess we were that way when we

were that age.

love,

Cindy

Cen,

Thanks for posting. Isn't modern medicine amazing? If I recall correctly, thats how they removed Jeannies tumor. For a bit he may look like he went a few rounds in the ring. LOL That soon will pass though. Then the Lord will continue to guide his path.

Wonder to hear it's being taken of Cen.

Hugs,

Rain

Yup, Rain, not going to think otherwise.

You know me, I don't waste time on

idle worrying when I can get better

results waiting on God, lol.

I am trying to teach Levin

spiritually. That is more of a concern

to me than the tumor, believe it or not.

Trying to teach him that if he can

get his faith and relationship with

God in order, then everything will

work out from there, no matter what

it is.

Thank you again, for your prayers.

love,

cindy
