The physician stopped in and gave us an update. There are two masses, one larger than the other. The neurosurgeon looked at the films this morning, and he wants to do a biopsy. They are going to put Curt on some medication to reduce the swelling, and will do the biopsy tomorrow.
We won't know more until they have some tissue to examine. Dad is still in good spirits. The physician was very cheerful and said there is a chance that the masses could be something less serious than cancer. One good sign, she said, is that there were no nausea or other side effects that came with the headaches, although fatigue did follow.
I will post again when we know more. Thank you for your prayers, we are blessed to have such a strong church family. The outflow of love and prayers has been amazing!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are going to keep us posted. I rushed home from work and went right to the computer, hoping to get some information. Just reading your update and then seeing the comments above mine from Robyn and Halii and Lee ane Renee just makes me cry because she were so supportive to me, while in the hospital with Kit. It is just as you said.. we are all so blessed to have the church body that we have at Hope. I am so praying that the mass is not cancer and that Curt will be completely healed. I love your family so much. shelly Lauer

Dear Curt, Patty and Family,

Curt, you are loved deeply by your Hope family but our God loves you infinitely more. The Snowbird Ohana is praying for the whole Franks family. God bless you all. Love, Marv and Michele Paularena
