Day 2657 Singapore July 27, 2011 - 21.40 hrs

Just paid a visit to my friend who had chemo yesterday. He is in good spirit and had a good chat with Nicole and me. He will have a PET scan on Monday and get the results on Tuesday. Let us pray that the chemo is working.
I am trying to control my blood pressure. I found out two months ago that my BP was high above 140. I have consulted a heart doctor who has prescribed Cozaar. I appear to have some side effects form Cozaar like stuffy nose, coughs and some swelling. I am trying alternative treatment. We shall see.

Day 2654 Singapore July 24, 2011 - 20.08 hrs

It has been a while that I have not updated the blog. Nicole had a blood test done last week and the CA markers are still within normal range. She decided not to follow Dr Karmen Wong request for a CT scan. Why have this test and have a dose of radiation when it is not necessary. This was the reason for not doing the CT scan.
It is going to be almost a year since Nicole had her second surgery. And since then, the CA markers have been within normal range.

Recently a high school friend of mine was found with a rare form of cancer. He is being treated in Singapore. Please pray for him and his family.
I just returned from Mauritius. I shall return to Mauritius soon and i hope Nicole will be able to accompany me.

I shall try to update the blog regularly.
We thank you all for your prayers and support.

Day 2497 Singapore February 17, 2011 - 21.19 hrs

We are back in Singapore. After celebrating the Chinese New Year, Nicole had a blood test today. The results show that Nicole is cancer free. She is now cancer free since last November. We are full of joy and our first thoughts, including those of Dr Karmen Wong, are to be grateful to God. It is God's will and we are fully aware that all the treatments have been guided by the Holy Spirit. We also thank all the family members, relatives, friends and all these persons who have provided support, have prayed and have been helpin us. You all have contributed to this remission of Nicole. Thank you.
We have the joy of Bert spending a year with us in Singapore. What a blessing!

Day 2467 Mauritius January 23, 2011 - 7.30 hrs

We are in Mauritius. Nicole is feeling great. We had the joy of meeting many relatives and friends.
Our joy was somewhat tempered with news from friends that a member of their family is ill.
So I ask you who reads this blog to pray for these persons with illness, particularly for three persons: one who had surgery and is still recovering in hospital, a second one who recently found that he is ill with cancer and plans to travel to Singapore for treatment and a third one who is also ill with a rare form of cancer and would seek treatment in Europe. Our prayers can surely support them.
It is a beautiful morning in Mauritius. We are so grateful and feel content with so much blessings. May we thank God for this gift.
