For those who well-wished and gave their prayers - just wanted to take a few minutes and give you an update on my brothers health.
Diagnosed with lung cancer in march - with brain tumors to boot - you wouldn't believe how well he is doing. His Doc calls him "his star patient".
After months of radiation and chemo - his tumors in his brain are gone and his lungs are progressing nicely - we'll know more after his scan Nov 5th - but it looks as though he has fought - couragiously - through his first 8 months. It has been brutal for him and I do not know how he has come through this.
His hair is coming back in, he's even back to work (very part time) bought a riding lawn mower, is finishing his basement drywall, and enjoying everyday with his wife, kids and grand kids - so, in short, thanks again for all your prayers - it has meant a lot - and has, obviously, worked.
God Bless and Happy Halloween.
Holly
