We Remain Thankful

Luan completed her 3rd cycle of 3 days of chemotherapy treatment in Singapore on Thursday (21 Sept). We thank God that she is strong enough this time to travel back to KL one day after her completion of the chemo. Chris and Luan will need to travel back to Singapore to meet up with the Oncologist on 9 Oct to review and chart the next course of action. For these next 2 weeks, both of us are glad that we can be together with Hui En when Chung En has just left to continue his 2nd year Engineering studies in Nottingham University, UK (19 Sept '06 - June '07). We are thankful for the use of the web-cam as all four of us communicate regularly on Internet. God provided someone from Malaysia who brought him to church on Sunday.

While Luan had the usual bouts of nausea (slight), loss of appetite, and low blood pressure, she is now steadily getting over the side effects of this round of chemo.

Different church members and concerned sisters-in-Christ are bringing food for Luan twice a day! A sister from another church comes to give Luan the booster jab daily (for 5 days). We are very thankful to be surrounded by such a loving community in an increasingly impersonal, urban world.

We are also thankful for the love gifts that are being received. We are also able to pay off the costs for the third round of chemo (S$3200) and other needed tests (CT scan, blood test, etc).

We are continuously being strengthened by the prayers of many of God's people. Please pray with us using Eph 1.19-22--that Luan will continue to experience God's incomparable great power (the power that raised Jesus from the dead) to heal her of the leiomyosarcoma cancer. May God's resurrection power be at work mightily in Luan to restore the rectum and other parts of her body that are affected by the tumors, and to replenish healthy cells destroyed by the chemo. With God nothing is impossible--David will slay Goliath! Praise the Lord!
