Natural Recovery

Following her pleurodesis procedure last friday, Fiona has been recovering. However, we had to make a trip to the local GP as we suspected that she might also have an Upper Respiratory Tract infection, evidenced by the ongoing coughing and low grade fever. The GP confirmed our suspicions and gave her, among other things, antibiotics to fight the infection and voltaren tablets to "open up" her lungs.

Since then, much of the pain from the procedure has subsided but there is still some. And she is still feeling some breathlessness. We suspect that this is because of the short, shallow breaths she takes to avoid pain. Please pray for these symptoms to subside, and for complete healing from the procedure.

Moving forward, we are restarting her juicing regime. Apart from the usual apples and carrots, we are also looking into lemongrass and soursop. Even as we take this break from chemo drugs, we believe that the natural goodness that God has created can help her build up her own body's immunity to fight the disease. Please pray with us over these few months as we move in this direction.

p/s We are also still looking for a good recommendation for an oncologist to speak to in Singapore. Does anyone have a suggestion?
