Our uncle, Harold Lefrandt was was diagnosed with a Grade III Brain Tumor (Anaplastic Astrocytoma) in 2005. surgery and treatment he was "cancer free" for 2 1/2 years. In September of 2007 he was diagnosed with a reoccurrence and started a new chemo treatment plan. The Temodar treatments were successful and he was without any "measurable tumor" in January 2008. Harry remained on the Temodar as a maintenance plan until June. The Temodar treatment is great as far as Chemotherapy goes and he has been able to live a very comfortable life. However, this past June they were surprised to see that the tumor was breaking through the Temodar treatment and re-growing. And over the last month an MRI revealed some very serious concerns. The tumor cells have now expanded beyond the original surgical cavity and are blocking the Cerebral Spinal Fluid. It is apparent from their size that they are very aggressive. The rate of growth in four weeks is alarming. One smaller tumor is blocking the 4th ventricle. This is very serious and life threatening.
His wife and children have begun a blog to provide updates on Harold's progress. In an open letter on the blog, they write:
Our family has selected a scripture that strengthens us and expresses succinctly our faith and plan:
“Therefore, dearly beloved …, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power, and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.” Doctrine & Covenants 123:17
We wanted to do our part to let people know of Harold's situation, and to also let Uncle Harry (and Diane) know that our prayers and faith are with him and his family.
