Dear All,

Dee just visited the doctor this morning and briefed me as follows:

The nodes that were removed during the second operation were found to be free of cancer - Praise God!

The margins (around where the tumour was) were all found to be clear, again, except for one. The surgeon will make a trip to the lab today to find out where and how infected it is in order to determine whether it is necessary for her to undergo surgery again. His preference, depending on the results, is that if it is not too much, they kill it with chemo and radio rather than yet another surgery. Pray that the correct decision will be made.

Now that chemo seems about to commence, please continue to pray for strength and that Dee will find enough nourishing food that she can tolerate during the treatment to keep her energies up. The whole family is driving down to the coast on the 18th for about five days for a much needed break. Please pray that Dee will be able to cope with the trip physically.

As radio days are coming closer, please add a prayer for financial provision.

On our part, as a family, we are rejoicing that God has bought us this far and that he has kept Dee strong and in high spirits. She's such anencouragement to us. That is such an understatement! She's been extremely strong and positive, and we see God at work in her physically, spiritually, emotionally and psychologically. May all the glory go to God. And we thank you, our brothers and sisters, for sharing our burden. May the Lord bless.

Jane
