This is not a bad news post. Recall that two years ago I asked for prayers for my wife who had recently been diagnosed with brain cancer. (I won't repeat all I wrote in my original post or in the updates at posts 103, 131 and 164 which some of you asked for.)
Thank you for those prayers.
The good news is that two years later my wife is still alive and after her last MRI the doctors said that she was stable as far as the cancer was concerned. No one she and I have personally known who had brain cancer has lasted that long.
She had Chemo several days a month for 18 months and an MRI every other month. The MRIs have shown no new cancer so far and a very gradual decrease in the size of the remaining (non-cancerous) tumor which the surgeon couldn't remove. Of course there is no guarantee that will continue and we continue to pray.
Unfortunately she does not have good use of her right arm and leg, plus she experienced a lot of pain and it took a while to get her medication adjusted to relieve that. Even so, the pain is not completely gone and the medication, along with everything else including the secondary things that accompany a primary illness, has left her weakened. All that leaves her pretty much confined to the bed or the wheelchair and she needs my help to transfer from one to the other.
Even so, things aren't as bad as we feared at this time two years ago or even last year.
We are both grateful to God and as well as praying for recovery, offer thanks that she is doing as well as she is.
And I ask that in addition to any prayers for my wife's recovery, you remember to say a prayer of thanks once in a while—not just for my wife or me, but for yourselves to. (I write that because after talking to people over the last little while, I'm left with the impression some folks forget to be thankful as often as perhaps they should.)
I've hesitated to post something before this because I was afraid of being premature with good news, but surviving two years is good enough in itself that it stands alone.
My wife is scheduled for another MRI later this month and we pray the result will be as good as the others, but while we count our blessings, we try to keep in mind that His plans may be different than ours.

God bless you and Mrs. Krinkle and her entire medical team. You and she certainly have our prayers.
Prayers that the next MRI show a complete healing. Kris, you’re a good man.
Hello Everybody,
Main point: My wife is in Hospice Care now.
Recall that close to three and one-half years ago I asked for prayers for my wife who had recently been diagnosed with brain cancer. (I won’t repeat all I wrote in my original post or in the updates at posts 103, 131, 164 and 196 which some asked for.)
Last fall she had a MRI which showed a recurrence of the cancer. They offered therapy but said it was unlikely to help and would likely detract from her quality of life for the time she had left.
She elected not to take it.
Some weeks after that we contacted the Hospice folks. We had home health care nursing till then. We have in-home Hospice, she hasn’t had to go to the Hospice facility. I understand some people go and come home and some don’t go at all.
She took a turn for the worse after Christmas. She was able to come to the table for Christmas dinner and into the living room to visit family (all in a wheelchair) but she’s not up to that now.
No one can say how much longer she has (not that anyone ever can for sure). She has good days and bad days, but more of the latter. She’s failing.
But then we didn’t think she would have the time she has had and we are grateful for that time. The last three years seem like forever and at the same time like no time at all. Given the fact of the disease, we don’t have much to complain about. God’s given us the strength to deal with the situation. She’s been home almost the whole time except for a few hospital stays and one moderate nursing home stay. I’ve taken care of her with some help. On the whole she’s been a good patient, a good troop, not faultless but I haven’t been that either. She’s pretty much at peace with the situation and with God.
I seem to want to ramble on but instead I’m going to close now.
Thank you for your prayers and concern and well wishing.
I am so sorry to hear this news.
Prayers going up for your wife...and for you.
I know it’s not an easy time. Please, know that she, and you, are in God’s hands.
He loves you.
KrisK - prayers up. know what you meant, but a good troop isn’t failing, nor are you. may God bless you both.
My prayers are with you and your wife and the doctors who are caring for her.
