A Vast Improvement

"Vast Improvement" and "Great Difference" were the wonderful words we heard from Prof. Liam, the chest specialist, when we visited him last friday. He uttered these words while he compared the x-rays taken 4 weeks ago and the one taken on the day of the visit.

According to Prof Liam, the fluid level in the right lung, while not entirely gone, is now minimal, even after a period of 4 weeks after the last lung tap. In comparison, the fluid had previously accumulated to as much as 1.45 litres only after 10 days between the first and second lung taps. Breathing is also sounding completely normal, evidenced by the trouble-free sleep that Fiona now enjoys every night.

Prof Liam attributed this to the Chemo, but the Oncologist, Dr. Masthura, said that the Chemo only works after 3 to 4 cycles. Again, medical science cannot explain what has happened.
Looking through the eyes of faith, we can only say that our God continues to work miracles in response to all your prayers. Thank you.

The pain in the back and legs which had previously disappeared is back, albeit sporadically. We suspect that the Chemo has something to do with it, but am thankful that it has gone down in intensity and frequency.

Visibly, for those whom we have not seen in a while, Fiona looks so much better.

Please continue to pray, dear friends, brothers and sisters. Please pray for the Chemo to work with no side-effects, for the pain to disappear. In particular, pray for the lungs and bones to be completely healed, and the complete eradication of the cancer. We place our faith in God that the next x-ray in 2 months will show a complete healing in the lungs and bones. We give thanks and praise.
