Doctor visits

We realize we have not updated everyone in a while and we know you are all wondering what is going on. We are so sorry to leave you all in the dark for so long between postings here. Your support is vital to us and we appreciate all that you have done for us! The cards, phone calls, gifts, and the food have been so kind. We appreciate your prayers and encouragement everyday.

Yesterday, we took Mom to her first appointment at CARTI, which is the radiation therapy clinic. The doctor was very nice and encouraged us to try every avenue to extract the tumor before we begin radiation and chemo.

The only doctor in Little Rock that will consider operating on Mom has been on vacation until today. So, today we visited the doctor that performed the biopsy on Mom. He referred us to this specialist at UAMS who will look at Mom's MRI films tomorrow at 10 a.m. and consider surgery as an option. Mom's tumor is located in a place that alters her personality, intellect, vision, speech, inhabitions, and other important parts. We are anxious to meet with this doctor tomorrow. He is known as the one of the best doctors in neurology in the world. We will let you all know what Mom decides to do after we meet with him.

Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones today, for we have never been promised tomorrow. Jana
