Try to leave it with God. I know it was the last thing you wanted to hear. Prayers have been sent up for you. Hold fast. Try to think of it as just another setback. Try to leave it with God.

Lots of it. They also thought my tumour was growing, but rather it was swelling. Oh and take vitamin E and omega 3. Lots of it. They also thought my tumour was growing, but rather it was swelling.

Go for Gamma Knife, it is quick and painless. I wish I could have rather had that. My tumour was too large even though it is low grade. I understand how you feel about chemo, I would feel the same way too. Just see how it goes. Maybe an option is to take it initially and if you find no improvement, rather drop it. My other suggestion is that you meditate saying " Thank you Lord that you have killed this tumour in Jesus' name" repeat this over and over again. Claim the healing that says "by His stripes you have been healed." Say to God that he promised it and you now claim it yours. Remember that God is the word and you are a child of God. Use the power He gave in your words. I am not usually a religious person, but I believe that God has a plan in store for us. Be bold, take control and believe. (I know how hard this is - I have been there myself) God bless d:) You may find it amusing but the anti-spam word that I had to put in to post this is “Relax” Which I am sure is hard to do.

Your faith and transparency are a blessing. I have recently been encouraged by the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. He heard the sound of thunderstorms of blessing coming when there was not a cloud in the sky. As a survivor of meningioma (I go to discuss MRI results today), I wish you great peace, direction, and faithfulness. Linda from Indiana Mark, I am so sorry to hear of this bad news.

I'm currently going through my 2nd month of Chemo therapy (Temodal, 420mg/day) and the lack of seriuos side effects are probably an indication for the lack of shrinking of my tumor. So I may be facing the same challenges soon. Anyway, that is not what wanted to say: I think that I'll not as brave as you, facing/going through these medical procedures while you have so many questions that nobody has an adequate answer to. If you're like me this is all very frustrating because while doctors are figuring out to what your tumor will react, the clock is ticking. I hope that you'll be strong enough to face your future treatments. Especially the gamma knife surgery. I know I will be not (I'm suffering from uncontrollable claustrofobia, e.g. I had already problems with the radio therapy helmet and going through the MRI and MEG was hell).

I can tell you're really trying to keep it together to make these big decisions - you continue to amaze me. I will pray for you and your family to keep hope and strength up. Your doctors will also be in my prayers for wisdom and compassion in helping you through this. While I only know how hard it is from the spouse's point of view, I can say with certainty that it's a difficult road (to say the least). Mark, I’m so sorry to hear this news.
