Hi all,

This is a very quick update. Got in not long ago. Today was not a good day. Mike's cancer is progressing. His tumor is growing into the bronchial tube now and blocking air. The radiation oncologist put radiation seeds in the tumor today in hopes of relief. The pulmonologist suctioned puss and infection out, but Mike still can't breathe well. We hope the radiation will help him breathe better soon, but it is in no way a cure. It is only a "palliative" measure. I will write again soon.

God Bless you all,

Sue

Sue,

The brachytherapy worked great for Charlie. He had 2 tumors blocking his bronchial tubes and the radiation totally obliterated them! There is hope. We are here for you. Prayers continuing for Mike and you and the doctors and nurses.

Sorry for the bad news Sue, but at least they have some treatment that has been helpful for others. Praying for you and Mike to both make it through this in a marvelous way. pammie

Tina, thank you so much for that account of Charlie's experience!

Sue, isn't this the best group in the world?

Please (You know who You are) let Mike have the same experience as Charlie.

love, Cindi o'h

Thank you all so very much, especially dear, Tina for the glimmer of hope you send my way. Mike is just struggling for breath, can hardly talk and eat .

Tina, how fast did it work. The radiation oncologist says it starts to work in days and can possibly get rid of the entire blockage by the time he is rechecked in 3 weeks. He emphasized that this is not a cure, but said he felt very good about the procedure he did on Mike today. Not being able to breathe sucks!!!!!

This can't work fast enough. I love him and find myself paralyzed with fear and emotion right now. Have to leave in about an hour and I feel I can't move forward. All of my family needs all of you now. Thank you for being there for us.

Love,

Sue

There was dramatic reduction in the tumors in a weeks time. Praying for GREAT results for Mike SOON!

Miracles can and do happen! Phil 4:13 We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us.

Sue,I had 80% blockage of airway last year.They did laser surgery on me followed by radiation and chemo.

Your right,not being able to breath is tough to contend with.

Hoping Mike will feel much better soon now.
