    Brandon's Tumor is growing again!

    For those of you who haven't been around that long read the beginning of this here... or if you just need to refresh your memory.

    Brandon has done so good since the last episode with his brain tumor but now it is growing again and he is having head aches again. This is one of those nasty tumors and it is on his brain stem but they have been keeping it under control with chemo and radiation.

    Sis said the doctors are not sure what coarse of action they will take now....

    Brandon and Jessica's marriage did not last long, they are divorced now and he has gotten on with his life and been happy and seemed to have been doing really good... but he always had this hanging over him, knowing it would be a problem again..

    Prayers can work wonders and lets pray that this is just a glitch, a temporary set back that can be delt with easily. Please remember him in your prayers and get him on as many prayer lists as you can. I have also lit a candle for him and will try to keep one lit for him.

    I'm so sorry to hear this - both about the tumor and his marriage. I often wonder how he has been doing. Poor kid - he sure has had a lot to deal with in his short lifetime.

    Prayers going out to him from here in DE.

    Prayers on the way for him. There have been advances made, so hopefully his docs keep up with the latest medical news. I don't know what type of tumor Brandon's is, but see this article just in case.

    Karen, his is a Glioblastoma, one of the bad ones. I DO hope and pray since his last bout with this that some major advances have been made but that was only in December of 2008 that this one was discovered and he had all those problems with it.

    This is a recent picture of him with his girlfriend..
