"Update on my sister-
Christine"
Dear Doves
Firstly I'd like to thank all of you who have lifted Chris up in
prayer and your love to me- very needed. We need the love and
fellowship of other believers the most at these times.
The news last Friday wasn't good, the tumours in her liver have
grown and her liver is pressing on her stomach, bowel and
sternum- hence so much pain. They're reluctant to remove some of
the liver as this can "seed" the cancer in other locations- but
since she already has tumours in her spine and lungs- they may
do this for symptomatic relief. She cannot have further
chemotherapy- the last try; she went into shock- she's had too
much.
I'm scared by the hopelessness in her voice- she has been so
brave the last 11 years of trial- but the length of suffering
has become too much and unbearable.
She sees her Oncologist again this Wednesday where some
decisions will be made- I appreciate your prayers so dearly. I
won't lie- it's a huge test of all of our faith- but I do know
she will be healed either in the Rapture or before if she goes
ahead of us. I think it's the length of this dreadful suffering
that has us clinging to faith with fingertips at times- it seems
so unfair- doubtless one glorious day- we will know why.
Lovingly ysiC Susan B in Aussie land
