Day 254 - Singapore September 24, 2007 - 22.20hrs

Last Nicole had a CT scan,

The CT scan showed that Nicole's liver is clear with no sign of any tumor. The thickness of uterus lining has decreased from 30 mm to 8 mm.

However, the CT scan shows the tumor has become larger and is abutting the rectum, which caused Dr. Wong to be concerned.


Dr. Gonzalez interpreted the results in a more positive way. He is encouraged by the good news concerning the liver and thinning of the uterus lining.

According to Dr. Gonzalez, the pancreatic enzymes attack the cancer cells in the tumor causing it to swell initially. At the same time, there will be an increase of the number of cancer cells in the blood which produces an increase in the cancer marker readings.

In fact, we saw an increase in the cancer marker readings at the last blood test. Now we are seeing the swelling of the tumor.

The reassuring fact is the decrease in the cancer marker reading from the hair analysis done after 3 months of treatment. The reading dropped from 27 to 24. A cancer free person has a reading of 10 or lower.

It was indeed a trying period for us as we did not fully understand what was happening. There is always a small lingering doubt that the alternative treatment might not be working.

Nicole and I have chosen to take the road less traveled.

We constantly pray the Holy Spirit to guide us and our doctors in deciding the course of treatment for Nicole.

This latest development tested our faith in God and as Nicole remarked, these last few days gave us the opportunity to recenter our life and refocus on our life priorities. We were losing sight of our True North. Hopefully we shall let ourselves be guided by our Lord during our journey.

Day 234-Sept 4, 2007 Singapore 20.43hrs

We are already in September. The hair test results came back showing progress from the alternative treatment that Nicole is following.
The cancer marker reading is down by three points - from 27 to 24. The safe level is 10. Still a long way to go but encouraging as it is coming down. Three points less after 75 days of following the treatment prescribed by Dr. Gonzalez.
The level of toxins in her body is also down.

These encouraging results gave us a boost to continue the treatment. Nicole is more lively.

This is a blessing from God. We have been blessed to have come across Dr. Gonzalez through our internet search. The advantage of a connected world. It is so wonderful to see mankind using God's given intelligence for the benefit of the human race.

Day 218 August 19, 2007 Singapore 22.30hrs

Nicole spent a week by herself as I was traveling on business last week. She managed well taking care of herself - she met with friends.

Gregory is back in Singapore since Aug 15. He will be looking for his first employment in Singapore.
Yesterday we met someone from Mauritius who is here for cancer treatment.

Given the alternative treatment Nicole is following, I am interested to know if there are available in Mauritius organic vegetables and fruits. Otherwise it would be very difficult for her to spend time in Mauritius.

Life continues. Nicole mentioned to me today that she is taking life one day at a time.
She added that she views her illness as a blessing as it has allowed her to live fully living one day at a time.

Day 209 Singapore August 10, 2007 23.03hrs

The blood test results show that there has been an increase in the CA 19 and CA 125 markers. However, we are not particularly alarmed as we think that the increase is not significant. The test shows that the blood cell counts are back to normal. The liver functions are Ok and no sign of uric acid.

Nicole sent a sample of her hair to Dr.Gonzalez to be analyzed. We shall know the results in two weeks time. This will give us a better picture of how effective is the treatment prescribed by Dr Gonzalez.

Bert left us for New York.

Another day is over. Thank you Lord!

August 9, 2007 - 22.50hrs

Bert has been spending time with us for a week.
What a joy to see Nicole enjoying the gift of the presence of Bert and Bert fully living the present moments with her and both of us.
We thank Bert for the gift of his time. More importantly we thank God for giving us His Love through Bert. Bert is leaving us tomorrow for New York. Life has to continue. I told Bert that he is the future. A new generation of Lam is coming up. Greg will be joining us on August 15.

Day 208 - Singapore August 9, 2007 - 8.55 hrs

We thanked God for the gift of life at church this morning. Nicole is feeling well. She had a blood test done yesterday and we shall have the results tomorrow.
She will also send a sample of hair to Dr. Gonzalez for the first follow up test, since she has started treatment with him.
Today we are taking it easy enjoying the day.
