Latest CT scan results

Not such a rosy picture this time around - which is not the news I'd like to bring right on Christmas. Earlier this week I had my 3-monthly CT scan, then a phone call from Leanne, my wonderful Haemotologist, saying that indications were that the cancer had gotten active and had spread considerably around my stomach area. That was certainly borne out by discomfort I'd been experiencing in that region for about 3 weeks. Rather like having eaten a bit too much and also having done far too many sit-ups!

Jeanette & I met with her today for a more detailed consultation. She had more info than the other day when we spoke on the phone, and unfortunately the situation looked worse, not better than first thought. She has outlined the medical options, such as they are, which we will consider over the Christmas weekend.

I feel completely at peace over the situation and am entirely in much Higher Hands.

Lots of love,

Bruce, Jeanette and Family

We also will join with others praying for your healing and recovery. We understand a little more after Laureene's illness, what you must be going through. Be strong my friends The Lord is with you as you walk through this.Psalm 27:13-14 (I remain confident, I will see the goodness of The Lord in the land of the living)

That is such rotton news. I hate that. After all you have been through we all hoped and wished that you would be totally ok.

Wouldn't this make you spit sparks.
