We are praising God that at this time immediate treatments is not necessary!

Plan of action: praise and continue to pray for complete healing.

The CT today showed that the structure of Greg’s spine is good at this time and does not necessitate surgery. Scans will be done on a regular basis to watch for deterioration of the spine. When that begins to occur, that will determine the need for another surgery.

The new tumor is taking up a good portion of the L3 vertebra, but is not a rapid growing or aggressive tumor as previously suspected. Right now Greg is not having symptoms that would need immediate treatment.

There are other areas where small tumors are growing in the spine. The neuro oncologist wants to do more scans on November 7. Following the review of those scans, a chemotherapy plan will be determined.

Thank you for your continued prayer.
