James is home safe and sound from a week of appointments in San Francisco. The results of the CT scan showed that the tumors in his lungs (and most likely the ones in his neck also) have indeed grown and that we can go ahead and begin radiation. So he will be going back to San Francisco on the 27th of March to begin two weeks of his final lifetime-allowed radiation threatment. Beyond this, if the tumors grow back as they have twice already we will be left without any other options save surgery. The amount and placement of the tumors in his lungs would make it extremely difficult for surgery to take place. So we're praying for a miracle. This radiation treatment HAS to work! I know that God can still perform miracles and I believe one can happen where James is concerned. Dr. S did mention that even if all else fails it would still take a year or two for the cancer to take his life. God's will only be done.

Rebekah & James,

There is definitely hope, especially now that you are moving to Arkansas near me where I can have you see a doctor who will prescribe Low Dose Naltrexone. You've looked at the website before. Once you guys are settled we need to get on this ASAP.
