Medical Update

News was good from my most recent doctor appointment. My latest MRI showed that the tumor has not grown over the past 6 weeks - welcome news after the tumor had been growing slowly over the past year. It seems that my excellent doctor, a native German, made the right choice by being patient and leaving me on my current chemotherapy treatment.

I return to the doctor at the end of March for another MRI - please pray for more good news!

In the weakness that is my faith, you don't know what a consolation this is toward my understanding of the Communion of Saints....
That you know continued good news regarding your health. To that end and in thanksgiving for this update, I will continue to beseech the Blessed Mother, the Holy Trinity and my little Treasures in Heaven. God Bless

Many prayers coming from one who had an infantile brain tumor removed at age 16 and was later inspired by the story of the faith a 5-year-old child had in requesting The Eucharist at age 5 as he was dying of brain cancer. Faith caries me on in my struggles with nTBI, Organic Brain Syndrome and related conditions at now over twice the age I was then. Blessed Margaret of Castello, St. Dymphna, pray for us. May the blessing of the Lord be upon you!

Laudatus Jesus Christus! You may be interested in some practical information-there are several people who have reported cures (mostly by more natural means) in what were often thorugh hopeless situations at a community data base entitled Earth Clinic. There is one doctor there from Thailand who often has helpful suggestions. Often it is through simple means.

It will be good to have a new more traditional minded priest. May your seminary studies continue to increase your wisdom. And may the sacred heart of Jesus Intercede for us.

I just received a copy of the Maryknoll magazine and read about your illness. I am so sorry you have to endure this disease. You sound like a remarkable young man, who has endured so much at such a young age. I will pray for you.

May God Bless You Always,
Maria
