I took my good friend John Glason on a trip to show
him what we are doing. First we stopped in Thor Piang Rosey to do some needed
medical. It’s a long time since I had so many sick children.
One girl that I
helped a while ago, with really bad Conjunctivitis, came to say hello. I was
amazed that God restored her eyes perfectly. Just shows you that we need to be
in the right place at the right time. We could pray for people and even had
some serious wounds to handle, all around a great day.
We then went into the bush with the truck all the
way to Rum Jopon. It was rough but we enjoyed it. Still in this dry season, people
are struggling with Malaria. It is just so nice to see familiar faces and the
laughs and smiles when we come there. Pastor Chi, John’s father came with us
and he could visit with the people. They were glad to see him again and I must
say it was good to see them visiting and talking about Jesus.
In the meantime, John Glason was busy with his drone
to shoot some video of the area and trying to get footage of what we are trying
to do. He will make us a video and then we can share it with you guys.
My friend Manus Olivier started with his Radiaton in
Cape Town. He say that 2 is finished and only 18 to go still. The flu hit him
hard and he is pretty sick but like I know my friend, he is in good spirits.
Praise the Lord that the bone scans of Quinton
Calitz, Toinette’s youngest brother, is negative for cancer. He need to wait 6
weeks and then they can do the Prostatectomy. Pray that the cancer will not
spread further and pray for encouragement in this difficult time.
Please continue for Fe.

Journey Update: RADIATION STARTS...
This is another
hill to climb on my journey to recovery. While having my chemo, I need to have
25 days of Radiation( daily except weekends). The treatment was easy for my
body to accommodate but the rigors of travelling to and fro the hospital, plus
leaving my two boys by themselves,makes it more challenging.
Yesterday, the long wait for my turn and
enduring the hot summer breeze(40 •C) worn me out before i was served. Yet, I
thank God that He is faithful in providing me and more than 80 cancer patients
waiting, Grace to endure.I know this is hard but I am positive that we could
surmount it..by God's grace.
Thankful that my husband Noel was with
me.
Some were asking me, how was the radiation
done? After talking to different patients, i learned that each case is treated
differently.
I was made to lie down on a table(
smaller than an operating table) over me was like a round machine ( like a
suspended light during operation) but i wasn't sure if the laser kind of light
was from there. I closed my eyes most of the time and i was asked not to move
even a bit because the light has to be targetted on the marked portion of my
operation. My left hand was up behind my head holding onto a steel handle. Then
when i am positioned well, they did the radiation. I could hear the buzzer
sound and see the red laser beam on.(like the star warsππ€?)Got
to tell you more after my few shots...
Please pray for strength for me to
endure it...for Noel to be in good health too so he could be there for me...for
my two boys to be safe and for our financial needs. Thank God for our couple
friend, a mentor who provided for Paul and Josh to go to the Camp. To God be
the glory!
Radiation:2nd and 3rd day.
I am the last on the list of those more
than 80 patients who will undergo radiation everyday. Since I am the newest
member of the Breast team, i have to be in the last shift...until some patients
in the morning and afternoon completed their treatment.
Last night i had my turn at 11pm...oh
my, I was the last person to close the department..π! We came before
4pm and waited. Patience is a virtue...indeed! I appreciate God's grace that is
sufficient for me, we waited until i had my turn.
Today, i thought we could take our chance,
i should be at the hospital early so i might be given a chance to be served .
Praise God! timely, one patient was not around so i was taken in. I had my turn
at 4:30pm. God is good!
Radiation Effect??? just feeling a bit
tired at my lower back.. wanting to sleep more but struggles to put myself in a
deep sleep.
Appreciate you all for being
there..Thank you for all your prayers.
oh by the way, i got a chance to take a
photo of the radiation table..
At this moment we are waiting for the team from
Prayer Circles Cambodia to arrive here for dinner. These guys travel all over
Cambodia in prayer and encourage believers wherever they go and that all on
bikes. Pray for them as they hid the road again tomorrow. Pray for safety on
these horrible roads.
God's laws and principles are always for
our protection, health, and wellbeing - not to limit us, inhibit our freedom,
or force our obedience.
