Jerome’s Story

Site created on January 24, 2021

Thank you family and friends for all your support with Dad, Denice, Leah and the family thus far!

For those of you that may not know, Dad was diagnosed with an anaplastic astrocytoma (cancerous brain tumor) in April of 2020. Since his diagnosis he has had thirty-three rounds of radiation, fluid drained from his brain, and in true Jerome fashion...the best attitude!

This Tuesday, January 26th, Dad will participate in a Phase I Clinical Trial at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital. (UAB) The goal is for the procedure to help attack the tumor!

I will be using this forum to keep everyone updated on Dad's surgery and his post op recovery. 

We ask that you all pray for God's Healing Hand to be laid upon Dad on Tuesday and during his recovery! Please also pray over the surgeons and hospital staff as they are operating and taking care of Dad!

Your love and support for the family is so appreciated!

Leslie

Journal entry by Leslie Fiorella Dobbins —

Hello everyone!

Daddy had his sutures removed today. They made sure that the herpes virus had not entered into his body, which it hasn't, and he also had some fluid drained from his cyst. I am about to take he and Denice dinner from my mother in law! :) 

Thank you all so much for the meals and prayers! Please continue to pray for my precious Daddy and family! 

God Bless you all!
