[hope]

Thanks for all your prayers! My MRI showed no new tumor growth but the radiated tumor still show necrosis and increased edema. My radiation onc. wants me to increase my decadron to 2mg/day to 4mg/day for two weeks so that I can be eligible for a study that uses a decadron like drug called Xeracept without all the side effects that decadron causes. This will be a stage III blind study so I have a 50/50 cahnce of getting the Xeracept.

I still need the prayers again so I can get the study drug. If I don't get the study drug then eventually after 12 weeks I will get it. My radiated tumor is located deep in my brain on the occipital lobe. It is too risky for surgery to remove necrosis so Decadron/Xeracept is my only hope. Is anyone on this Xeracept study? Hope
