Kristin posting here. Dad, Mom and my sister Kara met with the oncologist this last Wednesday and looked at the MRI of the tumor. The tumor has grown back to the size that it was before Dad started the chemo treatment, Avastin. Right now the course to address the tumor is to continue with the Avastin treatment and hope that the tumor will once again shrink. The oncologist gave about a 50% chance of that happening. Surgery is not an option because it would compromise Dad's vision. Dad will have another MRI in a couple of weeks to check on the tumor.
Please pray for energy and endurance for my parents. This has been a very difficult almost two years for both of them and the road is not getting any easier. Pray also for wisdom and strength for my siblings, Kara, Brian and Bethany as they are needing to step in more and assist Dad and Mom. God is and always will be sovereign and we trust in His plan.
