MRI after cytotron

We had an MRI done on Friday, 21st May, about 6 weeks after cytotron treatment. Its bad news again. Sob! The damn tumor is now 6.7 x 4.7 x 5.4 cm. Its progressing! And thats not the only bad news! There is 2 small new enhancing tumor deeper in the brain! I am totally lost now. We dare not tell Norman about the new growth. We just told him that the tumor had increase very slightly. But I think he knows better as he is feeling weaker the past 1 to 2 weeks. The cancer is slowly consuming him, day by day. Oh God, why are you so cruel to him? Isn't there anymore good news for us? I wanted him to be one of the few who can "beat" this cancer but now our hope is now dwindling. I miss him so much. He is here but he is disappearing! Where is my husband who climb moutains, trek hills, who fixes eveything in the house, where is he who shares all my hope and dreams, his quick wit, his humor, his tender loving care. We were suppose to sit in our rocking chair, counting the stars from our balcony with our grand children! Now everyday is bittersweet and tinge with some underlying sadness. He is always angry, frustrated and miserable. But he is still here and he is my hero. We all love him with all our heart. My family and myself will give everything for him. We are still praying for a miracle.
