24July Singapore.

Hi everybody.

Just to let u know that i talked to Dr. Gonzalez last night...he does not seem to be concerned re. the rise in tumor markers and the uric acid ..He said that tumor markers do rise for many reasons...and also the uric acid...i'm off beef totally and i have no pain ..so i should not worry..but he recommended a CT scan if i'm overconcerned..we were planning for one next month..so i'll wait...

We are sending my hair sample for another test in Aug...and he will adjust the supplements if required...

Alternative treatment is a very slow process...it's helping my body to heal itself...so i must be patient...i should trust Dr. Gonzalez re. when i should be concerned re. any changes.

So let's pray that the Holy Spirit guide Dr. Gonzalez ....

In the meantime i told Maurice to just relax and not worry and let us enjoy this coming month...and continue putting our trust in God. Nothing happens for nothing in life..

Maurice is right now in Japan for a few days.

I keep counting on your prayers.

God bless us all..

Love, Nicole

Singapore 21st July

Dear family, relatives and friends,

Quite a few months have gone by since i last communicated with you all...

Many things had happened...I went to Greg's graduation, to Fatima, Lourdes etc...Really I had some wonderful moments...i also went to see Dr. Gonzalez and i'm on my 3rd cycle of his treatment already...I was feeling fine physically, emotionally and spiritually..

The last five weeks i had the joy of having Nicky, Erin and Nina with me...Nina is a real treasure...we had some very good times together...I, for the first time having a little girl...you can imagine how much "little girl" things we were doing together...she was wearing my shoes, carrying my handbags, trying my lip balm, putting my scarves on etc...it was really fun..we danced the sega together. also ...Maurice and I we had some really great moments with Nina...

We also had Gisele and Jennifer for 3 days...that was another joy...

Unfortunately all good things sometimes do not last always...

My blood test this morning came back with my tumor markers up again...and my uric acid also up..(what's causing this one i'm not too sure..will talk to Dr. Gonzalez about it )

I guess with so many visitors around i did go eat out quite often and did not stick to my strict organic diet..

A set back for Maurice and I, but i guess this is telling us that the cancer battle is not an easy one and is not over yet...

We were a little discouraged today but must be courageuous again and start the fight again with more vigour and trust in our Lord.

I'll count on your prayers...


Love, Nicole

Nicolas and Family (Erin & Nina) spent five weeks with us.
What a gift of love. We enjoyed very much their company and the time we shared together.
Popo was in full delight enjoying the presence of and interacting with Nina. We saw her adapting to the Singapore way of life, eating new food like roti prata and going up and down the steps in the botanical garden. Nina enjoyed stepping in popo's shoes - a big one to fill though.

Nicole has completed the second cycle of supplements. She is now having the "clean Sweep" which consists of taking a bulking agent twice daily with plenty of water to clean her guts.
She is feeling better. She is reading a book on cancer survivors of Singapore. These persons have completely changed their diet eating raw organic food and their lifestyle. Nicole is encouraged and inspired by the life stories of these persons.
We continue to enjoy the gift of the presence Nicolas, Erin and Nina. Nina is a bundle of joy and full of energy. I need a lot of hard work to keep up with her. But what a joy!

I have learned that a friend of mine is flying from Mauritius to Singapore for a very delicate surgery. He has been found with a cancerous tumor in his liver. We ask you to pray for him and his family. This is indeed a very difficult time for them.

I ask you also to continue praying for Nicole and for us. Your prayers are being answered. Nicole's spirit is high. She is living fully everyday. She is a ray of hope and a living witness of God's love. I am in admiration of her faith in God and her joy of living. Thank you all and I thank the Lord for His gift of love through Nicole.

You see for yourself.
