Dear Friends,
This is a blog that I knew some day I would be writing, but I’ve been holding off until things were confirmed. It appears that my cancer has returned. The latest MRI shows a new enhancement that was not on the previous MRI. There was a small spot on the previous one but they weren’t sure what it was. There are 3 possibilities for the new growth; 1. long term radiation damage, 2. effects of the vaccine, 3. cancerous tumor. The most likely, they felt, was a cancerous tumor. I have talked with the neurosurgeon here in Saint John and felt the best option was to go in again and remove as much as possible. This will happen some time in the next two weeks.
I got almost 4-1/2 years in, which is a miracle with GBM. I am very fortunate to have got that time in with my family and friends. I don’t know what the road ahead holds for me, but will keep fighting on. I have great support at home and beyond. I have met great knew friends through this ordeal, so have nothing to complain about. I’ll keep this blog up as long as I can.
We had a good trip to N.C. this time, other than a canceled flight. Weather was great for flying and driving. A little rain driving home, but not bad. Again, thanks from Meme and I for your support and God Bless you all.
Jamie



You have huge support to help you and Meme get through this next chapter of your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
B Strong.
Love Tanya
Jamie: This is news that none of us ever wanted to hear from you. You have great resolve and wonderful people around you. Our hearts and prayers are with you at this time.

This is the news we hoped that we would never hear, Jamie, but it’s something that you, Meme and your family have faced before, and beaten.
It’s important that you stay strong, stay focused and stay positive.
Over the past 4-1/2 years, your blog has been an inspiration for so many people living with their own struggles, Jamie, and there are many more chapters to write!
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Meme and your family as you continue your journey, my friend.
Frank
Thinking of you today especially Jamie. Hope things go well for the surgery. Hugs to you and Meme my friends.
