Paul had his 10th cycle of chemo-therapy this afternoon which as usual lasted approx 4 and a half hours. He had lost about one and a half kg since discharged from hospital 2 days ago. There's no more abdominal pain and his intestines are able to take in about 2,500 calories of nutritions thru tube-feeding everyday.
His oncologist would like paul to go through one more cycle of chemo-therapy next week and after that, he will discuss with the surgeon whether should paul go thru the surgery to check on the tumour and do a bypass so that paul can start eating. As mentioned before, paul's tumour is not easily detected by scan, not even PET scan though it's supposed to be the most advanced machine, the only way is through observation and surgery.
Since physically paul is not as strong and fit as before, we do not wish to see him go thru another major surgery if possible. We will pray that the many cycles of chemo-therapy done had positive results and the tumour will vanish from his body and he is able to eat soon.

Hi Uncle Paul,
Continue to hang in there and hang on to the promises of our almighty God. You are doing GREAT!
You are such an inspiration to many of us and we will continue to upkeep you and Aunty Lily in prayers.
BTW, there is a line up there, i really don't think you can cut queue... :P
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”
