We learned this past weekend that my brother's cancer has definitely
returned. He went through radiation treatment the first time and
everything seemed A-OK. Now that it's back, the doctor says his body
can't take radiation any more and he'll have chemo this time instead.
So we understand full well the ordeal and anxiety you and Rob have
been through. We'll be thinking of you all.

Oh no! Purrs and prayers are on their way.

So sad for you Jeanne. Purrs and prayers from Kitty FC, BF and me.
It can work. It *does* work, these purrs and prayers.
Try and keep your brother positive. Once there was a mistake at my doctor's
and they sent me a letter which seemed to suggest I had cancer. I can
remember how I felt, absolutely panic-stricken. The letter arrived on a
Saturday and I couldn't find out anything until Monday. What a great
weekend I had.
Tell him we are thinking about him and wishing for a good outcome.

UPDATE: We finally got hold of Dr Ewend's secretary, who had Dr Ewend
call us back. Dr Ewend was in surgery all day yesterday, so couldn't
get hold of us, and we couldn't get hold of him.

Anyway, the news is the best possible right now. The specialists
(radiology pathologists specializing in brain tumors) agree with Dr
Ewend that there is no signs that the tumor has grown. The recommended
course now is to give Rob a course of large doses of temodar (I never
spell this correctly) for a year, as a precaution to make sure the
sucker is dead, nag at Rob to KEEP TAKING HIS MEDS, and keep in eye on
him. After a year, or as long as he can tolerate the stuff, whichever
comes first, Rob will be taken off the Temodar. We're still on MRIs
every two to three months, and regular visits with the drs. I'm
beginning to think I need to cross cross stitch a picture for them.

I think now that the bad temper and inappropriate comments were because
of stress and the steroids. Rob really doesn't remember saying any of
those shocking comments or blowing up at anyone. I believe him. Rob
has always admitted to any thing he's done, so long as he remembers it.

I'm so glad that the tumor hasn't grown. Stress relieving and
medication purrs and meatloaf meditations are on the way. BTW, this
is one time that a nagging wife is called for.
