Update to yesterday's post

My Dad had a CT scan, ordered by the opthamologist, to determine if the tumor is growing. Unfortunately the results indicate that the tumor has grown slightly larger. However, there is evidence of cells in the middle of the tumor dying off, which is a positive sign. Because the radiation is still a work in progress, there is hope that further necrosis will be occuring. For now, the current plan of giving the radiation another month to continue its job is still in place. Needless to say, the growth of the tumor was upsetting news to us, but we are holding on to the hope that the tumor will continue to die off. The adage of taking one day at a time is so on point, and that's what we are striving to do - although some days it's easier said than done!
It seems that every time you turn around, someone else is struck with this horrible disease. The Stand Up To Cancer campaign and its goal of enabling cutting edge research to find a cure for all types of cancer is certainly meaningful to our family and many others. Oh how we pray for those great minds who are working away to find the cure.
