My mom needs your prayers tonight
self | July 23, 2003 | tgslTakoma

Yesterday my mom and my family got some bad news... a brain MR identified the cause of her recent severe headaches and general weakness - two brain lesions which are suspicious for breast cancer metastases (after 12 years cancer-free). She's getting good care and pain management, most of the family is local and the rest is making their way home now. We did get some good news to go with the bad; a CT today came back clear for mets elsewhere, so the talk now is whether the brain lesions are small enough to respond to Gamma Knife treatment. We'll learn more tomorrow.

Prayers for you and your Mom. May God guide the hands of the doctors as they care for her. May her pain be relieved and may she have a rapid and complete recovery! May you be comforted in the knowledge that the God "who knows every bird that falls" SURELY is watching over you and your Mom during this troubled time. You are both in great hands.

Thanks for the Ping Meek. Prayer warriors at the ready!

Prayers for your mother and your family, Beth (sure hope I remembered your name correctly :).

As you well know, I've had a lot of experience with cancer of the brain during the past two years and therefore have learned a great deal about the various treatment options available to a cancer survivor. While your mom and I are faced with two totally different diseases, I'd like to make you aware of a new radiation device that recently became available at the Anne Arundel Medical Center hospital called Novalis.

"Novalis stereotactic radiosurgery uses highly focused beams of radiation to treat brain cancer with the highest level of accuracy." While I myself have not had a need for this type of radiation so far, there may come a time when this will extend / save my life. I believe Novalis is the next generation Gamma / Cyber Knife. Here's a link to their page: AAMC: Radiosurgery: Novalis". In the picture, the second doctor from the right (Dr. Thomas Ducker) is the neurosurgeon who performed my brain surgery. I don't know if they use Novilas to treat brain mets but it certainly can't hurt to call them and check it out. Call the Novalis Oncology Navigator at (443)481-5801, her name is Caelyn Kappeler.
