        Hi, all! Thanks for the input!!!! Here's an update:

         

        FIL had another MRI beginning of August. The larger tumor grew another cm. So, he's ineligible for clinical trials because tumors are not stable. He met with his neuro surgeon today and is scheduled for craniotomy this Friday am. He is having severe hiccup episodes that are causing him to have heartburn, vomiting, inability to sleep or eat. They've been going non stop for about a week. He has lost 20lbs since tumors found. He's losing feeling on his left side. He initially opted out of surgery because of risk of paralyzation and stroke. Does anyone have any craniotomy testiomonials?

        prayers are appreciated! This is all very scary, but we are trust in God. 

        blessings!
