Update via. my aunt.

My uncle is getting restless in the hospital, but who wouldn't? Seeing the same four walls day after day would get to anybody. He is still so optimistic, but says what are his other options? He said this has definitely given him a different outlook on life and he appreciates life so much more now. If anything good has come out of this experience it is that! To be given a good outlook on life and to build the appreciation of GODs greatest gift... life. As heartbreaking as this situation is, it has clearly brought us all closer as a family.
 
This situation has tested the strength of my aunt and uncles relationship, their love, and their bond as a couple. They have grown closer already in the short amount of time since the discovery of his tumors, which is a great thing! Especially if the worst does happen. I want their memories to be filled of good ones, not bad. I want them to enjoy every minute together and to be thankful for each other because GOD chose them for each other. She is his angel and he is her rock.
 
As for his biopsy results: We are still waiting for biopsy results, which we should get early Monday morning.

Here is an update via. my aunt:
Murray was transported to another hospital yesterday who has a neurological surgeon on board. ...They ran additional labs and scans. The new scans showed he has 5 tumors in the brain. They are all relatively small in size but all cancerous. One is affecting his speech and another is affecting his balance & coordination. He has a mass in the upper left lung. They will be performing a biopsy in the am to see if the mass is cancerous. Won't really know what the next steps are until the results come back from the biopsy. The plan so far is to see if radiation will take care of the tumors. If not then a surgery is planned for Friday. The doctor is very optimistic that this can be treated easily and he is optimistic that Murray has good chances of beating this. His optimism gives us hope and hope floats! Please keep us in your prayers for our finances as well. Murray had left his job in June because of some of his symptoms. Work was beginning to put a strain on him. So he has no health insurance. We have applied to every program the hospital has offered so we are hoping he gets approved for something. And now I am driving from AJ to Phoenix because he doesn't have a private room so I can't stay with him. So all our funds are going in the tank. Praying for blessing but just wanting prayers. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. This love & warmth amazes me
