Update On Uncle John!

I finally got a hold of my Aunt late last evening. Uncle John came through a very long surgery just fine. They were able to remove the largest of the 3 tumors on his brain relieving all of that cranial pressure. They also were able to put some sorta plate on the other two tumors so that when he starts radiation it will know exactly where to go. When I talked to my Aunt last night she was extremely exhausted and really needing some sleep. She could hardly carry on a conversation. (she is a cancer survivor herself and needs a lot of rest) She said that Uncle John was still in the ICU only because they could not find him another room but once one came open he would be moved from the ICU. PRAISE THE LORD for his hand of protection and provision.

The doctors said that this is lung cancer that has spread to his brain. They are not worried about his lungs right now they are more worried about the tumors on his brain and once they get that under control then they will get to working on his lungs. He starts 10 days straight of radiation in the next few days. Right now there is no plan for chemotherapy. Thank you so much for all who have emailed called or text checking on him. It's so wonderful to have ppl standing in agreement with our family for our Uncle. Keep the prayers for him a coming he has a long road ahead of him and if you don't mind please pray for my Aunt as well. We worry about her being so stressed and run down taking care of Uncle John. I can not say it enough Thank You Thank You Thank You! You are a blessing!
