My wife of 42 years (Mary Jo) had an MRI today and it shows her brain cancer has returned. This is the third time in the last 11 years. This time is different because it is in a bad area. We go to see the Neuro Surgeon Friday afternoon. Please pray for her to be healed. She is 73 and has had a great life but I am not ready for her to go.
Thanks to all of you.

I want to thank each and every one of ya'll for your prayers. We went to the Neurosurgeon yesterday. He told us he will operate and what the risks would be. The worst is death but he gave us a 90% chance of a successful surgery. There are a couple of concerns. The tumor is getting close to parts of the brain that can negatively affect her if he has to go that deep to get all the tumor. The tumor is fast growing. She had an MRI in June and there was no sign of the tumor. Now, a little over 5 months later, it is the size of an egg. It is imperative that all of it is removed. Her skin in that area is thin from the other 2 surgeries and the radiation. It might give some problems healing back.
The first surgery was successful and the cancer was gone for 4 1/2 years. The second surgery was successful but messed up her optic nerve and affected her vision. The cancer was gone another 6 1/2 years. We are hoping for another 5 or 6 years after this surgery. She would be 78 at that age. Should the cancer come back again I don't think they could operate unless it grew in the opposite direction.
The Doc is hoping to operate Thursday. We should know Monday and I will update then.
I want to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. Please keep up the prayers. God does answer them.
Jim
Thanks for the update. Continued prayers for you all, from us in N.C. Please let her know that we are praying for her.

MJ had surgery yesterday. Doc feels like he got all the tumor as confirmed by CT this am. She is doing well. She says she has a killer headache.
Doc said she may be able to go home tomorrow. They have had her up walking and she is now pretty steady on her feet and is a lot more in tune with what is going on. We are thankful to all of you. God bless you all.

Jim,
Thank you so much for the update and please let your wife know that there are a lot of us praying for her health and healing!
God is good!
BEST news I have had recently. Hold your own closely.
MJ is home!!! Doc released her this morning. Said she was such a pain that all the nurses were going to quit if they had another day of her.
She is really doing good. Her walking is a lot better and she is very alert. I am very glad to have her back home. Doc wants to see her in two weeks to take out the staples and check on her progress. I imagine she will be starting chemo soon. I hate to see that but know it is a necessary evil.
Thanks to all of you. You are a fantastic bunch.
Jim
All the Glory to God, Jim.
Prayers for a successful surgery.
