Man, I have not been on in awhile until the other night. I did not know about this. My thoughts and prayers are with you beast, I hope all comes out for the good. And to blowninjected540, I hope your sons tests come back with the best news also.

We're getting copies of my latest MRI and getting in touch with a specialist at Duke University. He treated a kid from our home town two years ago that two other places told him he had 6 months to live and now 2 years later no sign of a tumor. So we'll see and keep our fingers crossed.
Thanks to all you guys for the responses and pm's and all the other info you guys have sent. I haven't ruled any of them out. I'm just checking all opportuities before making a decision.

Mike,
Thinking about you my friend. Duke is a great place to find help, my cousin spent a few months at Duke several years ago. He had a tumor behind his eye (the tumor, eye is fine), it was removed and he had chemo. Healthy and doing well several years later.
Good luck Mike, call if you need/want too.
Hey Rabbit thanks for checking in. I'm not doing too bad other than having a lot of headaches lately. My wife is having a harder time dealing with this than i am right now.

Amen to what Wayne said. The mind is powerful for sure. Don't forget to consult your personal ultimate physician on a regular basis too (God). I will keep praying for your healing & a solution to this as well. Think about victory... beating this. Keep us posted & we can pray for you more precisely. Take care & keep your chin up. God Bless you & your family. Scooter
