Next step 下一步

After 2nd chemo session, some of my hair have no longer pledge allegiance to my scalp. Some would depart without much hesitation. As I comb my hair, it has been thinning a bit. Some days ago, my wife asked me, "Do you want to shaved all your hair so you go bald for a while?" I politely turned down the proposal, that is my crowning glory! Few days later, I received a devotion which I subscribed to.


Matt10:30
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

We both have a good laugh reading through the devotion. God has showed us His humor.

So I have been praying no more chemo session. Today when I met the doctor again, my wife showed me another slip on 3-day chemo session on top of my medical file, supposed to start today. Then the doctor reviewed the PET full body scan. Thank God the 2 tumors in the liver have shrunk. He referred us to another doctor to perform an surgery to remove the tumors. He cancelled the chemo session!

Prof O is the doctor we saw next. He was a kind and gentle guy. He explained to us what he would be doing during the op. He scheduled it to be next Thur Dec 16. Expect to be discharged 2-3 days later. He said I would back home to celebrate Christmas.

Continue praying for God's total healing! Amen.

Scan 扫描

Completed 3rd round of chemo on 11/24. Felt refreshed after resting for couple of days. Thank God the side effects were better off than the previous round.

Going for PET full body scan tomorrow. Praying for good results!

11月24日完成了第三轮的化疗。休息两天后精神焕发。感谢主这次的副作用比上一轮好很多。

明天到医院去做全身扫描。祷告一切安好。

Treatment 疗程

今天开始第三次的三天化疗。由于上周有一个公假，很多人的疗程都挪后了，所以医院很忙。今天的疗程约2小时。体重略为上升，哈哈，好开心！感谢上帝一直的保守与看顾。

这一阵子许多朋友与，同事，亲戚及兄嫂，弟都通过电话，短讯，电邮等继续来鼓励。谢谢你们的心意及祷告。愿神也大大的祝福你们凡事兴盛，身体健壮！

Today started the 3rd round of 3-day chemo.Due to a public holiday last week, many people have their treatment schedule pushed back. So it was a busy day at the treatment center. The treatment lasted about 2 hours today.My weight has increased slightly. I was happy to see that. Thanks God for His continuous protection and care.

Received some calls, sms/text and emails from friends, relatives, siblings and colleagues.Thanks to all for your continued prayers and encouragement. May God Bless you, that you will prosper in all things and enjoy perfect health.

Chinese Physician 中医

Last Thursday, I went to consult a Chinese Physician at a free hospital here. This was at the recommendation of an ex-patient turned volunteer. I have seen another physician before at another clinic.

It was quite a crowd at the hospital. The lady physician seems to be quite popular from the number of patients queuing to see her. She was kind and offer some advise on diet too. The hospital offered 2 portions of Chinese herbs. Bought some more herbs at the medicine hall nearby, and the pot to cook the herbs. Quite some effort to cook the herb, which tastes bitter. Supposedly bitter medicines are good!

Feeling much better these days, basically all the side effects are gone. Spent most of the time reading and praying. Raining season has started. Strolling in the evenings and some light exercise in the park downstairs.


上周四到一家免费施诊的中医医院问诊，这是一位前病患的义工介绍的。之前也曾去过另一家诊所看过医师。

医院里看病的人好多。女医师看起来颇受欢迎，候诊的人挺多的。人也善良健谈，也给了一些饮食方面的建议。医院免费给了两帖药方，过后到附近的药店买了多几帖的药及煮药的砂锅。煮出来的药颇苦，想是良药苦口利于病吧。

这几天感觉很好，所有的副作用基本消失了。多数的时间看书祷告。雨季开始了。傍晚时分到楼下散散步，做些简单的锻炼。

Matthew 6:26 (New International Version)

²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

馬 太 福 音 6:26 (Chinese Union Version (Simplified))

 ²⁶ 你 们 看 那 天 上 的 飞 鸟 ， 也 不 种 ， 也 不 收 ， 也 不 积 蓄 在 仓 里 ， 你 们 的 天 父 尚 且 养 活 他 。 你 们 不 比 飞 鸟 贵 重 得 多 麽 ？

Progress 进展

Felt much better this round. The tiredness has vanished earlier. Back to strolling in the park and some simple exercise 2 days after the chemo.

Reading some books....Learning how to pray more effectively.


James 5
¹⁵ And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. 

这次的化疗比上一轮好许多。疲倦感也较早消失。2天后就到公园散步及做一些简单的锻炼。

阅读了些书。也学习如何更有效的祷告。。。。

 雅 各 書 5¹⁵ 出 於 信 心 的 祈 祷 要 救 那 病 人 ， 主 必 叫 他 起 来 ；

Recovery 康复中

Reviewed with doctor on Tuesday. He was happy with the progress, he said there would be no need to see next round, I could proceed straight to the chemo.

Completed 2nd round of chemotherapy today. Thank God, I feel much better than the previous round.
Next round will be on 11/22-24. Expecting perfect results by then.

Mar 11:24  Therefore I say to you, All things, whatever you ask, praying, believe that you shall receive them, and it will be to you. 




周二去复诊。医生对进展感到满意，说下一趟可直接去化疗，无需再去见他了。
今天完成了第二轮的化疗。 感谢主，这次感觉好很多。
下一轮将在11月22-24日。期待到时完全的痊愈！

 

馬 可 福 音 11 

 ²⁴ 所 以 我 告 诉 你 们 ， 凡 你 们 祷 告 祈 求 的 ， 无 论 是 甚 麽 ， 只 要 信 是 得 着 的 ， 就 必 得 着 。

Next Treatment下个疗程

Review with doctor tomorrow. Depending on blood test, chemotherapy would resume tomorrow for the next 3 days.

Praying more nowadays. With God all things are possible. Thanking Him for taking of daily needs, all the small details and healing on the tooth ache.

Welcome 2 visitors today, one of them from faraway land. He brought the well wishes from the China team. I am very touched. Wishing everyone well, may God Bless each one with perfect health, peace and joy.

明天到医院复诊。若血液测试没问题的话，就持续三天的化疗疗程。

这阵子腾出多一点时间祷告。在上帝没有难成的事。感谢主每天的看顾，无微不至；也感谢祂医治了困扰几天的牙痛。

今天来了访客，其中一位是远道而来的同事，带来了中国同事朋友的真挚祝福。心中很是感动。祝愿各位身体健康，心里充满平安及喜乐！
