Thanks for your support of my sister in law. But the bad news continues

Update on Linda Penny: She's now in surgery recovery from her brain surgery. Apparently the tumor grew so much in the past 12 days that the doctor thought it best to go after it. Is is a glioblastoma. He got most of it, but some of the "tendrils" remain and that's the bad news. Her family is with her and naturally devastated. My brother in law is a doctor and when he heard the dx, his only comment was SHXX! To have endured such a week and now to get this news is going to require more support and prayers, so keep them coming and thanks. Prognosis isn't good, a year at best, and that's if all the treatments help. I'm praying for a better quality of life as well as a miracle.

My sister-in-law has had a horrible week. Took a spill and thought she had a mini-stroke. Then paralysis of her right side, loss of some cognitive skils. Extreme pain in her seisure areas. Then a day later, a full body seizure or convulsion. Again, horrible pain. She's been in the hospital all week and under heavy pain-killers. The doctor was going to do a brain biopsy, but it's rapid growth made him rethink next move. Now he's going to remove the whole tumor by drilling down from the top of the skill. She's not in enough good shape to handle a biopsy and then a surgery if necessary. Apparently it is neccessary.

Thanks for putting Linda Penny in your prayers.

I did get some good news today. One friend who had colon cancer, stage 4 completed his chemo and he reports the doc said he's now clear. Not sure how that works. And another friend in Missouri who underwent chemo to treat ovarian cancer emailed today to say she finished her chemo and the onc. said she was clear now.
