On May 11, I had an MRI which showed that my brain tumor has shrunk "slightly" from the radiation therapy which ended in April. The tumor is about the same size, but is not as dense. It is good news that the radiation did some good, but I still have a long road ahead.
For the next 18 months I will be on a high dose of chemotherapy in an attempt to slow the growth of the tumor, so I ask for your continued prayers.
Please be assured of my prayers for all of you!

Gratia Plena, Philip.
You are in my daily prayers.
AWESOME!!! If it be the will of God, may this phenomenon continue.
Excellent news, finally, Philip!
Definitely the right direction; I'll continue to keep you & Fr. Price in my prayers-pray without ceasing!
We'll have a seminarian on assignment here, also, this summer - another reminder of you, to be sure...

Everyday at Mass and in my night prayers I ask for God's healing for you, Philip, and that you may offer Holy Mass and be a priest forever.

I just found your blog. God bless. You're in our prayers.
Stay strong Phil. You are in my prayers and thoughts daily.
Great news, Philip! Be assured of my continued prayers, through the intercession of Fr. Price and St. Bernadette, for your healing.
May God bless you and keep you.
Good to hear :)
(as an intern neurology I'm curious about the details, but I won't ask that of you ;))
Will continue to pray for you!
God bless you for your courage and faith. I will continue to pray on your behalf.
I will be in prayer for you Philip. If you feel up to it, let me know how the chemo is going. I know that the beginning for me had a lot of big bumps in the road until medication to deal with the side effects was re-worked. Let your docs know whatever you experience - they may be able to mitigate the effects by adjusting meds. You looked great when I saw you at Duke recently. Always good seeing that genuine smile. Punch Father Parkerson in the arm for me. (Just kidding - I wouldn't even dare do that) God bless you dear brother in Christ,
