Wayman's diagnosis of a Glioma deep in the frontal lobe of his brain about a month ago has lead us to create this blog to keep our family and friends informed about his condition. We understand that this condition is terminal, and have investigated all the options for treatment and are confident that we are following the best advice available. Our hope is that it will give us some extra time as a family and we trust our loving heavenly Father to continue to care for us all.
Wayman has commenced his radiotherapy and chemotherapy concurrently. He is tolerating both well and we are in a routine of going to St Andrews hospital 5 days a week. He is enjoying good health, continuing to do the crossword in the paper, and working in the garden. At this stage he is not bothered with headaches, although the drug regime has affected his diabetes, with his blood sugar levels being elevated.
If you are lead to pray for us please ask for continued peace and assurance of God's love for us, and that the treatment over the next 5 weeks be as effective as possible.
Thank you, Ruth
Thank you for doing this Ruth. We continue to pray for you all knowing that our loving heavenly Father will sustain you.

ReplyDeleteA glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine. Gliomas arise from glial cells, which act as a supportive cell in the central nervous system. Gliomas are the second most common type of tumor after meningiomas.
