Pressing On After 2 Operations & 2 Rounds of Chemo

Today Luan saw the doc and received the CT scan report and blood test results.
We give much thanks to the Lord for:
* blood test results ok--she is able to continue with chemo
* both kidneys functioning well with a stent in each ureter
* both lungs very clear
* all other organs (liver, gall-bladder, lymph nodes, etc) are normal

The left pelvic mass has decreased significantly in size. The right tumor does not seem to have grown bigger, but both are mainly cystic. However, they could not be totally removed during the recent surgery because of the surrounding blood vessels. Doc managed to 'de-bulk' them. The recommendation now is for Luan to return to Dr Ang in Singapore for a possible 3rd chemotherapy and, or radiotherapy, to shrink the masses further.

In view of all these, our family will be going to Singapore this Sunday, 17 Sept. Luan will see Dr Ang on Monday, 18 Sept, when he will analyse the reports and give his recommendations.

At the same time, our son, Chung En, will fly off from Singapore on Monday night, 18 Sept, to begin his 2nd year of Electrical and Electronic Engineering course at Nottingham University, UK, under the university's mobility programme (Sept '06 - June '07).

Please pray:
* quick and easy adjustments for the whole family as Luan remains in Singapore (with her siblings); Chung En in UK; Chris and Hui En go back to KL on Tuesday, Sept 19
* God-given wisdom to the docs and us as we decide on the next best course of treatment for Luan
* daily strength for Luan as she is still recovering from her 29 August major operation in KL

We have much to thank God for the continued strong prayer supports from many churches and individuals, good wishes received, words of encouragement, visits, love gifts and practical helps rendered. We are unable to personally reply to all of you but we are definitely very grateful for all that you have done. May God richly bless you too.

Keep on keeping on.
