Rachel passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family and friends at 5:57 pm yesterday, May 16. It is with great sadness and loss that those of us left behind attempt to fill the void she will leave in all our lives. Finally, peace without pain has made its way to Rachel as she has achieved her ultimate goal to be with Jesus. Thanks to all of you for following Rachel on her journey. What a special daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend she has been. Arrangements for Rachel's funeral may be found <a href="http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Rachel-Breland&lc=4270&pid=164833464&mid=5536000" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Yet another MRI report after my MRI this morning:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the old tumor is still shrinking (which is great).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But there is a new growth area (which is NOT great).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next MRI is scheduled for mid March. Change of chemotherapy because of the new growth area... I will stop taking the CPT-11 and switch to CCNU along with Avastin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love to all. Thank you for your prayers.</div>

<b><u>MRI Update:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is some fluid (causing the spongy, cone head swelling) between my skull and brain lining but that isn't super uncommon after brain surgery. No problems with wound healing, bleeding, no pressure areas (swelling), no new growth areas. The old tumor seems to be doing something weird. It is still too soon to see what the Avastin/CPT-11 will do to this tumor. Another MRI in one month and Avastin/CPT-11 every two weeks. I was at the hospital for <b>10</b> hours today. It was miserable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, all in all, it was a gad (good/bad) report.</div>
