~Mighty Oak's Follow Up Brain MRI After Gamma Knife~February 17, 2009~Prayers Please
Today is brain MRI day and again I beg for prayers from my family. I have seen the miracles they supply and yearn to have them come true for Ed. June 2007 marks the first day we knew that the brain was involved with his mets. That is a long time to be combatting them and although blessed, I am scared out of my wits.
This far into the journey we know a few things about our future, per Ed's choice. One: Ed will never have a brain operation and Two: Ed will never get radiation again. These are choices that were well planned out and I will respect and protect those wishes.
Maybe getting a little ahead of myself here but he will do as many Gamma or Cyber Knives as needed. Right now he is trying to maintain since his fourth chemo regime is right around the corner. At the moment he is trying to regain energy and stay nourished.
I do not want to say this in front of him but I am petrified this time. I feel we are running out of time. Do not worry though, no where near giving up on a thing. Just getting my fighting gear on and gathering ammo.
Please pray for my Angel, he is getting tired and needs to concentrate on healing. We will take care of the rest, right??
Thanks for the support and for letting me vent my fears. And for those who will wonder.....yes I am breathing and this time NOT hyperventilating!! (wink)>>All My Love>>Believe51
