Hello friends,

After a very long day of running around and a bit of insurance approval difficulties, we are on our way to treatment. We first met with Dr. Gibbs, the radiation oncologist, and then met with Dr. Mindea, the neurosurgeon. Both doctors are in charge of Cleve's treatment down here. It was noted by Dr. Gibbs that there was another lesion in his brain that was not noted in the reports, so that brings our total to three, possibly four lesions to treat. She also said that if there are over five lesions, we may not have the cyber knife procedure, but total brain radiation instead. We really don't want total brain radiation so we are hoping she doesn't find any more. The side effects are potentially much worse.

Cleve had an MRI done today and will have a CT scan done tomorrow morning. If we are clear for treatment then he will have one dose of radiation on Wednesday and one on Thursday. We will then follow up with brain scans as scheduled and send them to Dr. Gibbs as well as our other "medical team" we have acquired, and not to mention, so blessed to have. I will of course keep you all up to date as progress is made.

I also want to thank everyone for their continued love, support, well wishes, prayers, and good thoughts. It truly means the world to us to have you all in our corner for this terrible fight and we could not get through it without you all. Thank you so much and much love to you all.
