"The MRI looks fabulous"...

Dr. Maher, Neuro-oncologist, entered the room and gave Barry, Brant and I a big hug then enthusiastically stated... "The MRI looks absolutely fabulous!"  She also encouraged us by telling Barry that his recent headaches are definitely not related to any abnormal brain activity.  The MRI shows that Barry has had an amazing response to the treatments.  The fatigue that he is feeling is 100% normal and she said at this point post-treatment, he is on the upside.  Everything will start to get better from her on.  Thank you GOD!  Thank you to everyone who has said a prayer for Barry and has maintained the the belief in a cure.

Barry's vacation from chemo will be over as of Sunday this week.  He will begin a 5 day cycle of double the dose of oral chemotherapy that he had in the past once a month for the next 18 - 24 months.  He will also continue with the Avastin infusions every other week through the end of the year.  As Barry would say... Don't Stop Believing!

  1. Barry,

    I am so happy that God has laid His healing hand on you. He has once again shown us His unbelievable power!! He has given you great ability to tell others what He has done in your life. What a great gift you have to share with others. I feel that this is your beginning. You have so much to achieve from here and I BELIEVE in you, my brother. Your love for Him, your determination, and your love for living will lead you to do many things that we will all think will be extraordinary. I BELIEVE and always will!!
