I am a survivor of a meningioma--far less than what you have dealt with, but it is a continuing story. As a believer, I share your hope and know that for all of us, although we don't know what the "more soon" will look like specifically, we can trust the One who numbers our days and knows the hairs on our head. The light He sheds along the way is truly all we need, as we walk with Him. Praying, Linda Mark, I love the way you ended this truly uplifting update: “more soon”.

It is truly a tough decision to make. Ron is facing his own. If he qualifies for clinical trials, does he want to do that? Do the costs outweigh the benefits? If he choses to go back to a prior (and very toxic) chemo will it slow the cancer down enough to be worth it? What quality of life will he have? If he chooses to stop treatment all together, what can we expect? The doctors may have some ideas, but only God really knows. We need to PRAY. We need to SEEK the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We need to BE STILL and KNOW HE IS GOD. Only then can we find true peace with our decisions. God bless you. Mark, my prayers and best wishes are with you and your family.
