Update

It's been quite some time since I've posted anything. That's because things have been rocking along amazingly well, and perhaps they still are. I'm sure some of you have watched "48 Hours" on TV from time-to-time. Here is our 48 Hours episode:

Jeff got his scheduled MRI on Monday the 22nd. We got the results on Tuesday the 23rd (which just happened to be my birthday.) The report was not good. It appeared that the tumor was growing again, but our doctors recommended we go back to M. D. Anderson and see if there were any new options for us. We took the images with us. After looking at the films himself, our neurologist said that he could not say definitively whether it was tumor regrowth or simply scar tissue! His recommendation is 2 more rounds of Jeff's current treatment and an MRI in a month. He feels that he will have a much better idea of what is going on at that time.

Once again, we are grateful for better news than we had expected, but this roller coaster ride is not much fun! Jeff remains calm and positive. The rest of us, not so much. Actually, we are hanging in pretty well. Thanks for the prayers, and again, keep 'em comin'!
