today's MRI show that Gary's tumor has grown significantly. We've been seeing some signs for the past few weeks, but wanted to think that they were associated with the medications.
I wish I could post better news. Your prayers for a new medical miracle are greatly appreciated. I've got calls in to our Neuro Oncologist at Cedars Sinai to see what other treatment options they recommend.

Why now?
All is well, so why now?
Well, we have been extremely touched by the care and attention so many of you have showered upon us over the past 6 months (yes, this whole thing started 6 months ago, ie. 11/27/07). Throughout this time, we've had ups and downs and many of you have shared them with us and lifted us up with your love. When this first started, I sent out emails to our beloved prayer chain warriors, our faithful families and friends. Undoubtedly and unintentionally, people who care about both of us were missed.
As snowbirds, we have returned to our home in Bend, Oregon and we miss our "Southern Friends" who have done the same thing by going home to countless beautiful communities throughout the United States and Canada. This offers an opportunity to occasionally check on Gary's progress and post your comments.
My focus is Gary, so sometimes the phone call I "should" make to friends isn't made. I'll try to update this blogsite once a week to say hello and let you know how he's doing. Please don't hesitate to call us or check this blog from time to time and leave a comment.
We know that you worry about Gary and me and hope that this will give you some comfort.
Hope it works for you. Works for me.
We're sending our love to you through this blog. Please keep him in your prayers.

We remember your kindness to us when we were first together, and what a joy it is to see you both so happy in our wedding pictures.
We check your site often for news, and pray for you both continually.

We were in Kennebunkport last week and we thought of you. Please know we are praying for you.
Love, Eddie and Lynn
If I wasn't a believer before, I am now. You two have shown me that love and prayer CAN get you through just about anything. I can't imagine what the two of you are going through, but I can see just how much you two love each other. Thank you for being such an inspiration to the rest of us. I heard from Laura last night, and the most recent news sounds very encouraging. I will be praying for you both. Love, Sara
You are always in our thoughts and prayers. We love you so much!!!
