good news and bad news...

I have been putting this post off, because i am having a really hard time posting it... On Friday, I went and picked up Sean's scan results, and unfortunately, Sean now has a few tumors in his brain. We are not sure how long they have been there, how many are there, where they are at... pretty much all we know at this point, is that there is something in there- and we also know that it needs to go! i have been on the phone all today with various doctors, oncologists, blah, blah, blah... I am thinking we will not have a definite plan of action for this until Sean's appointment in Chicago on Friday. The GOOD news-- Sean's lung continues to stay STABLE~! This gives us the time to work on getting Sean's brain back to normal! Hopefully by next week, Sean will be back on his way to fighting off this crap and be on his way to recovery! I don't have a lot of details at the moment, so as soon as I find out more, I promise I will have an update for everyone. Please continue with the many prayers we have been receiving, love

I'm so sorry the scans didn't come out better, Nicole. But it is good that the lung is stable. I will be thinking of you and praying that treatment will take care of the new mets. Hope you get good info soon about how to proceed. My best to you, Sean, and your adorable children:)

Stay strong,

Jocelyn

Many prayers your way in finding a great battle plan. Cyber knife or stereotactic radiosurgery should be able to help, and there is a lot of success with this. Keep your chin up and know that we are praying for you.

Sean, Nicole, and family,
I am so sorry to hear about the scan results, and I know what you mean about having a hard time writing a post about it. It does get overwhelming at times, and (referring to one of your earlier posts) I totally understand your desire to escape from reality. I wish so much this wasn't your reality and pray that everything goes well with your future treatments. I also want you to know that you are all doing an impressive job of dealing with this situation. It is definitely encouraging for me to read your story, which is so similar to my own. It's like knowing we're not alone in this horrible foxhole. You inspire us to keep up the fight.

Whew Nicole! How overwhelming! Keep your head up and keep moving forward. Brian saw Dr. Jon Richards in Chicago, curious if it is Sean's doctor too. He was amazing. Either way, I am sure you are in great hands.

Also great to hear about the benefit. This will hopefully ease some of your anxiety so you can just take care of Sean and the girls.

Prayers your way as always. I think of you everyday. I wish there was something I could do to make this easier on you.

Take care,
Jenni
