Continuing Good News


Today Barbara and I met with Dr Lisa Horvath, my oncologist.  Today’s blood test and last week’s CT scan show that the liver cancer remains dormant and my liver is functioning normally.  Lisa pointed out on the scan where the cancer is, which is in the top area of the liver.  The liver has built in redundancy capability.  My cancer had affected about half of the liver, which was too much, but being less than a quarter now, I am OK.  She thinks that my situationl is a mixture of the cancer’s response to treatment and my body’s capability.  Everyone’s journey is different.

This blog entry, I want to thank those of you who have been praying for me, particularly Ian who believes in my being healed, Geoff who prays morning and evening and Ron who prays everyday.  We cannot scientifically measure these things but I can assure you that to receive such love and concern that has been given now for over two years is a wonderful blessing.

Congratulations to our son who rang us yesterday to announce his engagement.  They are thinking of the first half of next year for their wedding.

Today I am including a photo (which was previously released by special email) from my family birthday celebration on 8 May when I turned 63.  My first granddaughter joins the family for this photo.


Sunday June 2 I fly for three weeks in Kamuli, Uganda with our friends Pam and Allan.  I will be working with them on some ideas and matters mainly concerning the primary school across the road from where they live.
