Since the last good news of Luan's successful operation and no need for any radiotherapy, we regret to inform that last week, two new malignant tumors were found - found pressing against one of the kidneys causing it to be enlarged.

A CT scan of the chest further revealed metastasis to one of the lungs.

This turn of events has greatly shocked many of us.

On Sun, Chris & Luan and the whole family decided to see a doc in Singapore.

In Singapore, they met with Prof. Teh, a gynae-oncologist and Dr. Ang, an oncologist (founder of the Oncology Dept, Singapore GH). After much prayer, consultation & consideration, they have decided to go with Dr. Ang.

Luan will be seeing him tomorrow at 11.30 am and if all goes well, will start the chemotherapy immediately.

Luan will be staying with her sisters. The brother has offered his maid to help in her care. Friends from Luan's church and also other churches are offering support, prayer & practical help to both Luan & Chris for which they are thankful.

Thank you for all your encouragement & prayers which they appreciate very much.

Let us continue to uphold the family:

• That Luan's strength will be built up to stand the toll chemotherapy will take on her body. She is especially allergic to many drugs - do pray that side-effects will be minimal and the treatment successful
• That peace will reign in their hearts and minds and they will have the strength to face each day
• That the doc will be guided by God's wisdom
• For God's hand of healing
