Medical Update, and Request for Prayers

My MRI last week showed that my tumor has remained stable, thanks be to God. I will complete chemotherapy in October or November, and then the doctors will watch the tumor as my body recovers from 3 years of constant chemo. If the tumor starts to grow again, I will resume treatment immediately.

On a similar note, please pray for the repose of the soul of Jennifer Robbins, who died of brain cancer last week. She was diagnosed about 18 months before I was, and she became a good friend and example over the three years that we knew each other. Priest friends, please remember her in your Masses:

I will definitely pray for the soul of Jennifer. Thanks be to God that your tumor has stablized and I hope you can begin to heal from the chemo. God bless you, Philip! Liz

So glad your tumor is stable....I'd like and have been praying for it to just plain go away!

Prayers for your friend's soul and her family.
