HaHa - and you're just the one to do it too! What are you working on dear Lucretia - some fancy piece of stuff I'm sure.

No, I am afraid I am still on the knitting jag.
I'm so sorry to hear about your BIL. We have a very close friend that has had one. First operation - little more than 13 years ago. Recurrence about
7 years ago - but he's been fine since. They did really interesting, advanced special laser-knife neuro-surgery at Washington Hospital Center, and it was successful. Very hard when these things happen - prayers, hugs to you and your family.Fairness just doesn't come into things on the local life scale - just how it is.
Keep the spirits up, and have fun doing the scrapbook of happy things!

Sorry to hear this, Liz! I know *exactly* what you mean. My DBIL was taken from us very unexpectedly and way too early (failed attempt at putting a stent in). He was everyone's favorite BIL, too.

Prayers are with you and your family.
just me, Cathy from KY in CA
Thanks to all for your good thoughts/prayers. There are new treatments being tried in the past few years but, since both older sisters are RNs and neither one is very optimistic, I'm not counting on him being a 'long termer'. On the other hand, HE is the one that has it and he tends to be a more optimistic person so who knows? I'm not writing him off yet. :-) I also left off the middle of the word. It is a glioblastoma.

The daughter of a very close friend of mine is an over 9 year survivor of a glioblastoma. She had what was then experimental treatment at Duke University. They do miracles there.
Alisha fought a very long, very tough fight, but she's here and watching her kids grow up, so it was all worth it for her.
I wish you well
Lucille
Many good wished winging his way.
