      Thank you, Charlie S!

      I have been so frightened. I advanced to stage 4 due to a brain met, craini, chemo and whole brain radiation. Now involved in a phase 1 trial at Moffitt. I had been wondering when I was going to die//////NOW I LIVE!

      God bless you, Charlie!

      Manu, I am so sorry for this difficult time.

      I was started on Keppra as an anticonvulsant after my brain tumor was removed in September. It left me very, very tired, a little confused, short term memory deficits and no appetite. I stopped the Keppra in attempt to improve overall state. It worked until 3 weeks ago when my seizures returned, so I'm back on it with the same side effects..

      I'm told that this should improve over time. Depression may be another side effect.

      What helps me most is my family. I don't know how much time I have left, so each moment is precious. Some of my family is able to talk about dying; others are not. I cherish each one of them; whatever each is able to share for that moment.

      I have a strong faith, so death does not bring me fear. I trust God, and share that with my loved ones.

      I pray that you know His grace and peace. There is nothing stronger.

      Love to you and yours

      Thank you, Frank.

      I do have to admit to being scared at times: not of death, but what will lead to it. That's when I hear His voice that brings peace and the promise of what is to come.

      God bless
