Hi everyone, I am writing this on behalf of Abunai. On Tuesday, he started having weakness with the left side of his body, with his memory, and concentration. We were instructed to go to the ER. After a CT and then an MRI, we were told he has about 20 tumors in his brain. Up until this point, there had never been any sign of mets in that area. Surgery is not an option, so to try to shrink the tumors, or at least the swelling caused by them, we have decided to go through a 10 day, whole brain, radiation treatment. If it works, it could buy him a month or two. If things go very well, they may be able to do cyberknife on tha largest tumors later, and maybe buy him some more time. He's had two treatments so far. We came home from the hospital last night. His left leg is getting less wobbly, so I'm taking that as a sign of improvement. Anyway, he really wanted me to get a message out to you guys, and he specifically mentioned that he wanted to know how Fox was doing. He loves you guys very much.

Thank you very much for the
prayers. lobbyist0724, That is the plan. There are three big boys in my right brain that they hope to treat radioscopically if the full brain treatment works well enough.
bryn1108, I have considerered myself agnostic, at most through most of my life but I really can't assign a lot of my recent recovery over the last several days or a week to anything other than positive thoughts and prayers from others. I have regained a lot of my mobility and cognitive power since last Saturday, and feel much better than I have in a long while. Everyone, please keep up the prayers for everyone in here. I can't see how wishing someone well could be ill-meant or hurtful. I just know that my family and I appreciate it.
Cathy appreciates all the well wishes, prayers and support as well.
Love and good wishes to you all,
Dave and Cathy
