I am writing this update on behalf of the entire Hallam family. A few of you are aware that Roger is in the hospital right now. He was taken to hospital last week after collapsing from a diabetes related incident. We had also been noticing changes in Roger's behaviour over the past couple of months, including memory problems, stability, and speech issues. We all attributed this to high blood sugar levels and his sadness over the loss of our grandpa (Mike Hallam's dad).
Unfortunately, after some testing, they have found a brain tumour. He had an MRI done and it was discovered that the brain tumour is inoperable because it is too deep in his brain. A biopsy was performed this morning and it is with a heavy heart that I relay the results of the biospy so far. They have discovered that the tumour is a very aggressive, cancerous tumour and because they can not remove any part of it, it makes the prognosis worse. An exact time line has not been determined yet but we will have more information in 4-5 days after the detailed analysis of the sample. The best that they can do is to try some radiation to slow the tumour down, but it will take his life. He will most likely be remaining in the hospital for the rest of the time he has and it is predicted that it will be sooner than later.
This is a very difficult time for our entire family. Please keep Roger in your thoughts and prayers.
