Greg is the son of a dear friend of mine. He is 31yo with an 18 month old daughter. I've known his grandparents for over 50 years and his mother, practically, since the day she was born.
The following is a paste from her Facebook page to give you some idea of the need for prayers.
"I want to Thank each of you for praying for Greg. We had a visit from one of his specialist yesterday that was nothing short of heartbreaking, telling us what it was and that it couldn't be removed because of where it is and there wasn't any cure. He has a very rare tumor that they never see in anyone over 16-17 years old that is already very big and in a very bad place. So St. Jude was called in and one of their top neurosurgeons has studied his case and agreed to take him on as a patient. (He will be treated at Baptist East though). This wonderful Dr. has a bit more promising outlook on what could be done to treat this tumor and keep it from growing larger! The biopsy that he has to have done is in itself very dangerous and we were told from more than one of his drs at Baptist it couldn't be done. The doctor from St. Jude is going to do it and seems confident he can safely get a small piece for more testing. He still has a very long road and things have to go perfectly but this doctor has given this old, tired, worried mother some hope!! So THANK YOU again for the prayers! Please continue to pray for him, his wife, child and medical team! Also please continue to share these posts, the more people praying the better!"
Thanks for your prayers.
