      The MRI shows that there is now a lesion of 0.9mm in my husbands brain.  We are carrying on with OncoVex trail.  On 5 July he wil have another PET/CT and MRI and then the docters will decide if he will carry on with the trail.  His coughing has become worse and he gets tired very quickly.  For now there is no symptomes of the cancer in his brain.

        Just got a phone call.  Some of the tumors are bigger and some of them are smaller.  No spreading to brain, liver or bones. Thanks to our Heavenly Father!  He will be getting his 7th OncoVex injection tomorrow.  In three weeks he will be getting a Brain MRI.  Praise God for the good news!

          It has been 12 weeks now since my husband started on this clinical trail.  He went for his 12 week CT scan on Tuesday and we are still waiting for the results.  Everything is going well with him.  The side effects are managable with some tablets and lots of sleep and rest.  Please pray with us for positive results.
