This is the longest break I've taken from blogging and my apologies to all waiting for an update.
Post radiotherapy seemed ok for Jo, however the side effects gradually set in and got worse.
Jo had been losing appetite and feeling nauseous over this past week. Yesterday was especially bad as she was out for lunch with a friend and could only eat a little. In the evening she only had some maggi noodles and that was it for the evening. She weighed in yesterday at 38.6kg.
Strange aches kept surfacing throughout the day and she'd been constipating over the past 3 days. Fatigue sets in easily and she told me "quality of life" wasn't very good... and this was tough.
Prayer Items
So for all our faithful prayer warriors out there, please pray for:
1. Continued faithfulness and trust in our Lord Jesus.
2. Strength to manage through the side effects.
3. Side effects - aches, pains, fever, nauseas to be eradicated
4. Appetite and weight to be restored ... past 40kg
New Treatment Updates
Jo will be beginning the new treatment regime sometime in the next 10 days and will keep you all posted. If you managed to read last Saturday's Strait's Times article on page S10, this report explains in detail the new treatment Jo will be undertaking. The mentioned oncologist - Dr Goh Boon Cher is Jo's NUH Onco too.
God Bless my friends, more news shortly.

Will certainly continue to pray for Jo and yourself.
Great seeing you today.
Many Blessings!
Psalm 46 (NASB)
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.
