Thanks goodness for family!

Hi All,


Thanks for all your well wishes on behalf of mom (Karen). Here’s an update: Most of you know that we received news of several small brain tumors two weeks ago. Monday, she had another MRI and we learned that these lesions have not grown at all : ) On top of that her doctor is very confident that laser radiation, which zaps just the lesions, will be quite effective. She is actually receiving this treatment tomorrow (prayers and positive thoughts please!).


Next week she’ll receive her regular chemotherapy and her doctor will check how her pancreas and lung are reacting to the treatment. The pain she was experiencing in relation to these tumors has gone down significantly so here’s to hoping they’ve shrunk!


Again, your support is invaluable.....love to you all!
