Well, it wasn't what we wanted or expected to hear. We were so hyped up for positive results that the report from the doctor today has really been hard to digest.

While all the results from Monday's CAT scan still weren't in, what was there wasn't so good. Some of the tumours have shrunk, but not enough for having had 9 chemo treatments. And one, near the liver, has grown (which would explain his increasing appetite/eating difficulties).

So, the doctor wants to continue with one more chemo treatment on the 28th, then is probably going to do a more dangerous/radical treatment in January called "Autologous Transplant". I haven't had time to research it yet, so can't tell you much, except that it's intense, dangerous and very, very frightening.

I'm stunned. As is my brother. We were so sure that we were making huge progress...but I've entrusted him to God's care, so I have to keep faith that all is still in His capable Hands...and ask that when you have a moment now and then to keep both my brother and me in your prayers over this holiday season...we're a bit heavy-hearted right now.

Oh, Eagle, I'm sorry the news is so disappointing. I've never heard of that treatment. You know you are both in all our prayers here.

Eagle, I am so sorry too. Count on prayers from me as well.

Eagle, I am so sorry to hear this. We will pray. Love and Light, Lynn

Eagle, I will keep your brother and family
in my prayers. Big Hugs! Cindy

Eagle, I'm very sad to hear this. Everyone here has been hoping for the best. We still do, and will continue to hold you and your brother in our prayers.

Dear Eagle,

If there is a season for miracles...this is it! So I will pray and hope and think of your brother...

Please stay strong!

Hugs...

Eagle, I am sorry the news was not what was expected. Kimr is right - this is the season for miracles and I have seen several myself over the past two weeks. Prayers offered for your and your brother.

Eagle,

I'm thinking about you and your famiy and praying. God is ON the throne, and he loves you and your brother deeply!

Oh honey, I'm so sorry for your brother and your family. How lucky he is to have you for a sister. You know all of us boomers will be lifting him up in prayer. Love you.
