Hello everyone. Thank you for your ongoing prayers, especially for your prayers today as we met with the neuro-oncologist at HUP. Our whole family (Mark, Nan, Jeff, Kris) was able to be at the meeting, and all of us felt very comfortable with the doctor. We believe that, once again, God has led us to the right person for this next leg of the journey.
We talked with the doctor about the plan for treatments, and tomorrow we will go back to HUP to meet with the radiation specialist and another meeting with the neuro-oncologist to set up the start date for treatments.
My dad will have 6 weeks (5 days per week) of radiation (at HUP) in combination with oral chemotherapy. After that is completed, he will begin receiving a clinical trial drug in combination with bi-monthly oral chemo for a year.
We are glad for a concrete plan of treatments. Pray with us as we go back tomorrow to meet with the doctors again.
This was a day that we felt could have been discouraging, but we all came out of it feeling encouraged. Your prayers are making a difference.
Thanks,
Kris

Mark and Nancy, I have been thinking about you a lot over the past weeks and keeping up with you through the blog. Your life is a testament to your faith and your messages are a support as we all pray for you. You will continue to be in my prayers and my church family is praying for you as well. -Gretchen Schlicher (RMC)
