Not the news we hoped for

I just talked to Steve and the news on John is not good. The brain tumors are growing. The doctor has recommended doubling the dose of temodar (the chemo) and starting whole brain radiation. The other tumors in his body are probably causing the pain and the doctor has also upped the dosage on pain meds. If John chooses to do the whole brain radiation it can be done here in Toledo which will be much easier as it will probably involve daily radiation for upward of two weeks. I am devastated. I had so hoped that things could at least stay stable for a while longer. But now is not the time to be down. Steve will be talking to John on the ride home discussing the options and we will be supportive of whichever path John chooses to take. While I know the prognosis is not good I will continue to pray for a miracle.
