A Clean MRI for my brother in law!!

MY brother in law unfortunately, has brain cancer. He was diagnosed back in April of 2007.

2007 was a BAD year for my family. But at the end it was good as Adam was born on Dec 21st. The beginning of the year Feb 2007, I lost my son whom was stillborn at 36 weeks http://www.ourangeldiego.com/

While still recently in pain, we found out in April of 2007 that my brother in law (my oldest sister's husband) had brain cancer. He had brain surgery and they were able to remove 95% of the tumor. He then went on to radiation and also started on chemo. He has to have MRI's every 2 months. THANK GOD all his mri's have been clean. That doesn't mean he is out of the woods, but there is no new growth. If you are reading this, please keep him in your prayers.

Today was one of those days where he had his mri. I can only imagine how scared my sister is each time Henry goes in. She always goes with him and every time he is out and as soon as they find out the results, she sends us all a text message. So today was a good MRI. Thanks be to God.



In September of 2007, we also found out my sister in law (my husband's sister) was also diagnosed with breast cancer. Sad to say, she lost her battle on June 7th, 2008. I pray every day that God gives strength to my mother in law who is completely devastated. I am very sad that she didn't get to meet Adam. They live in Mexico. We were planning on visiting my husband's family in the summer of 2008 to take the kids. They have already met Erik my 7 year old son, but hadn't had a chance to meet Adam.

The cancer spread faster than we knew it. She was having really bad headaches and so they did surgery on a part of her brain too on June 5th. She wasn't responding well, so the 2nd day June 6th, they did another surgery to drain the fluid from her brain. My husband and his family kept in touch by phone throughout the entire process. It didn't look good, so my husband and I took a red eye flight on June7th at 1:30am. We arrived at the airport in Mexico City at 6:30am, and she passed away at 5:45am. My husband didn't get to say good bye to his sister.

she is survived by her mother, her husband, her 8 year old son and 2 brothers.
