RADIOTHERAPY

Dad has just completed his once in a lifetime cycle of radiotherapy of 18 sessions.
Each session last but 5 min and often he does not feel anything much during the session.
No pain, no discomfort.
However, i think the radiation did more to him than anyone of us can realise.

In the BCST sessions that follows this radiotion, i find it harder and harder for him to get into holistic shifts. Thank God Adida came back from her trip and when both of us work on him again, things picked up a lot faster.

In my absence, Susheel and Norliah came by to work on him. Norliah's sharp felt sense registered a softening of the tumour at its site. Thank God for the progress. At least dad did not get all toxic for nothing.

Throughout the treatment, we give dad his usual cocktail of supplements and Aloe Vera concentrate in his morning fruit juice. We got this concentrate at Nature's glory.

He was struggling with eating though. Appetite aside, he can only intake small portions, and thereafter, he will physically feel a sense of nausea and feels like throwing up whatever he has just put in his mouth. His weight was dropping.  It was at this point in time that i sent back a surrogate Touch for Health balance from the States, by a group of church members in Malibu during one memorable church meeting there.  God works in way beyond our understanding and imagination. At the same time, family members realised that dad has not been taking anti-nausea pill. He started taking it before his food, and can started to eat better again. :)  Thank God.

About a week later, the anti-nausea pills lose its effectiveness. Dad decided to chuck that aside, together with the radiotherapy. I think what accelerated his decision to prematurely stop the full course of therapy was the fact that the radio onco told him whether the radiotherapy was only to proportionately extend his life by matters of months; ie. he effectively put out his hope for a full recovery, in line with mainstream medicine's diagnosis of a adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

I am keeping my hope in God and the good people who look to him all over the world, who are looking into ways to conquer cancer, and bring God's freedom from pain and illness. There are many of God's servants moving in this areas, and God keeps bringing them into my path.
