MRI result

David's MRI result is out. While most of the holes in his bones have reduced, they are not completely gone. There could still be myeloma cells in some isolated places even though there are no new development. Praise the Lord for the relatively good result but please continue to pray for wisdom as the doctors discuss what to do next. He may be required to wait for a month to see if the improvement in the GVHD would cause the remaining unwanted myeloma cells to be wiped out or go for another one or two cycle of Velcade (chemo).

David did not appear too disappointed with the result and instead try to assure me that the result was considered quite good already. I had expected excellent MRI result and was not quite prepared for the not-so-good news. But thank God I am reminded about the prophecy that God wants to heal him and he will live to see his grandchildren. I am also reminded about the prayer Dr Philip Lyn prayed for him during the church camp not to look at the medical result but look to our God, our Lord the Healer.

May the Lord continue to help us look to Him and not the circumstances. "Lord, please grant us more grace, more faith and a deeper understanding of Your love and plan for our lives, in Jesus name I pray. Amen!"

Thanks & God bless,
