(submitted by Mary Covington Verret on 1/20/2010 at 11:40 PM)

Dear Sherwood, My brother Frank was diagnosed with a Cancerous Brain Tumor which was removed. In the course of the surgery there were some damage done to nerves in his throat and is unable to swallow. That lead to a feeding tube being surgically put into his stomach. Frank finally lost 50 pounds and his doctors have reduced his diabetes medicine. With the pathology of the tumor known to be Cancer; the Doctors at the Durham VA have offered Radiation and Chemotherapy which will start on the 25th. Frank was allowed to come home on the weekend of his birthday Jan 10th. Where he has a hospital bed and his wife Ursula at his side. Frank is in the home of my father with his family. My father is with me (Mary Margaret) and my husband David in GA. Carmen and her son have their own apt, but still reside in Fayetteville. My father and I will be up to visit this weekend (22-24, jan) and hope to be able to visit as often as possible. Please keep all of us in your prayers. Frank and Ursula (Uschi) will have to do a lot of traveling back and forth to Durham and the treatments will be very hard on Frank; and Uschi as she stands by him and takes care of him. Thank you all Mary Margaret
