Tough News

We received a call from the specialist today that Chris has a grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme. This is the fastest growing tumor and very difficult to treat. This now means that Chris will have to have chemo along with the radiation. He also is qualified to be in a clinical trial. They want to make him like the Hulk. Literally the medication they are wanting him to try (which will make him radiation sensitive)will make him turn greenish. Once it is stopped he will turn back to a normal color. We are definately in unknown territory! Sounds like a tough road ahead. We are so thankful for your continued prayers.
