Justin's Story 3

Hi All

 

Justin (and Jenny!!) saw the new Oncologist yesterday. They feel much better with this new doctor who explained more or less what stage they were at as there are still no final biopsy results. He has asked for all the biopsy samples to be sent to him so that he can personally see the tissue – a very thorough, wise and knowledgeable doctor. He went on to explain that there would be a 6 month treatment of Chemo every second week. He will do this on a Thursday, so that Fridays can be a rest day and he should be good for work on a Monday again.

 

He has discussed the side effects but says that as Justin is young and healthy, these would probably be less severe and the chances for full remission are very good as there is a lot known about this disease. We pray that he is one of those who fall in the 85% category of full remission.

 

Now that there is a plan, they are able to feel that there is a direction ahead and can re-organize their lives. This has been the really tough part of this challenge in not knowing what was ahead.

 

I ask you to continue to pray daily at 6:30pm (put a reminder in your phone!!), and for all who can come, we will probably meet next Tuesday or Wednesday to pray again.

 

Justin and Jenny are totally bowled over by the extreme support they have had and thank each of you for this.

 

They still need your encouragement and scriptures.

 

Love

 

Denis, Cilla, Kim, Dean and Nicky
