We got a little good news and quite a bit of bad news today. The good news is that the spots that they treated with the gamma knife responded well. One spot is completely gone, and the other two are half the size that they were before the procedure. The bad news is that the MRI showed that Keith has 15 more spots on his brain. They are very small, but we obviously have to do something about them. The doctors suggested full brain radiation. Keith will start this treatment on Tuesday. It will be everyday for 3 weeks.

I will write in more detail another day. I just don't want to think about it anymore right now. Please be in prayer for us. We are both numb at this point.

Steph, we'll pray that the treatments will be as successful as his previous ones.

Much love, Chad

Keith,

This is Kevin's sister, Jill "Johnston" Young. He shared your blog with me and I have been reading it on a pretty regular basis.

I am so shocked to hear about your latest brain scan. Prayer is definitely one option we know works! And you are in Sam and my prayers and in the prayers of our small group.

Love,

Jill
