To understand what you are looking at, imagine that you are looking at me as if I'm facing you. My left ear is on the right side of the image, and you can see teeth (the u-shape) just below the tumor. In June 2003 - the tumor was about the size and shape of a golf ball - about 4 cm in diameter.
Here's what my current MRI looks like:
As in the first image, imagine you are facing me, and you'll note my left ear on the right side of the picture. The tumor growth is the slightly thickened white area near my left ear. Since this was caught on a check-up it is still quite small. It is roughly 1cm x 1.5 cm x .4 cm. The small size makes me a great candidate for radiation therapy and I'm very relieved not to be facing another surgery at this point.
I want to say thanks again, for everyone's prayers and support. It means more to me than I can express. Bob, the boys and I are all doing well, but I'd be faking it if I didn't admit there have been times when I've felt terrified. Deep down, I know this is not productive or true - and it is often the kindness of all of you that keeps me focused on the facts.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39
To More Faith,

I found you! So, the song is God of This City by Chris Tomlin. You can find it on iTunes.
