Orginal thread starting in December is here...

The tumor that ruptured in Brandons head has been identified, it is a fast growing and aggresive one. His Mom has looked it up on the internet and has found the survival rate is 2 to 4 years. Since it is on his brain stem, they are going to watch his spinal colume close, if it spreads, that is where they say it will go. He has already started radiation treatments and oral chemo. Sis said that chemo is $4000 for a months supply and the medicine they gave him for the nausea is close to $1000 for a months supply. He will take the chemo for so long, get off for awhile and get back on it for a year, off and on for a year.
I don't know if I knew before I left or not but his doctor is trying to get him on disability.
He seems to be doing great so far and trying to get on with some kind of life again. This is a picture of him getting set up for radiation..
And a picture of him with his favorite nurse maid who is a former girlfriend from several years ago and they have gotten back together since all this started, she is the only one he wants when he is sick and bedridden. She helped nurse him back to helath when he was in the horriable car wreck several years ago. This picture was taken just a few days ago.
Please remember to keep him in your prayers. This is not over yet.
