30 May 2008

Lynne met with the neurosurgeon from Barrow Neurological Institute. He explained the Gamma Knife procedure that she will undergo on 6 Jun 2008. He also described the current condition of cancer, which appears to be recurring. The enhancement is small and difficult to detect with MRI. With the start of the seizures, the indication is more certain that the enhancement is related to recurrence rather than swelling. During our research we often read that the cancer is fast recurring but without a definition of fast. The neurosurgeon stated that on average this cancer recurs between 9 to 15 months. Lynne is 16 months away from the initial detection of the tumor. Your continued prayers and thoughts on her behalf are appreciated.

Regards,
Darryl
