MYELOMA TREATMENT UPDATE [12JAN2025]

First, I’d like to apologise to those who wanted to meet me but weren’t able to. I came down with pneumonia on Christmas Day and just finished my antibiotics today. I had to visit the hospital twice, but thankfully, the pneumonia cleared up during the second visit. The worst part was needing a nebulizer to help clear my stubborn phlegm. The good news, and what I’m most grateful for, is that I didn’t have a fever. Interestingly, my white blood cell count remained within the normal range, but my haemoglobin dropped from 108 to 96, which caused occasional shortness of breath.

Before leaving the UK, my Consultant gave me a blood test form in case I needed to get tested whilst here (in the Philippines). He requested a full blood count (CBC) and a urea profile to assess my kidney function. In the UK, both can be drawn from a single blood sample. However, in the Philippines, fasting is required for the urea profile, so I wasn’t able to complete it here.

Currently, my phlegm is starting to clear, and my cough and cold are easing. I’ll be taking it easy for a few days before we head back to the UK.

Despite being unwell, I made it a point to walk daily (when it wasn’t raining) to help strengthen my immune system. However, in recent days, I’ve been experiencing bone pain in my midsection, which makes sitting and lying down uncomfortable. I suspect the pain was exacerbated by a 10-hour bus journey. Although the ride was comfortable, staying in the same position for that long likely triggered it. I chose to travel by bus because of previous negative experiences with delayed or canceled domestic flights, and I found the bus seats comparable to business or even first class on planes, which made the journey less stressful.

I believe I may be due for my bone-strengthening infusion, which could explain the bone pain. I’m praying my kidney function is within the 30+ range so I can receive the infusion when I return to the UK. 🙏 Additionally, I’ll need to ensure my calcium and vitamin D levels are at the appropriate levels. 🙏

Anyway, my heart is filled with gratitude for the priceless moments I was able to share with family and friends. We are returning to the UK with hearts overflowing. God has truly been amazing through it all, making everything possible for us. What an incredible and mighty God we serve!🙏🙏🙏

DISTRIBUTION UPDATE | DAY 3 [23DEC2024]

DAY 3 of our distribution is complete! I thank the Lord for keeping us safe throughout the journey. It was our first time meeting everyone in Ballesteros, but their warm welcome and gracious hospitality truly touched our hearts.

This experience reminded me of what I deeply miss about the Philippines. If it were possible, I would have hugged everyone, and I hope that by God's grace, I can do so soon.

We also extended a cash donation of P5,000 to one of our beneficiaries to support her chemotherapy treatment. We are praying for her full recovery and for God to use this treatment as a means of healing her from ovarian cancer.🙏

In Ballesteros and Aparri, we were able to assist 63 families. With a few food packs remaining, we plan to distribute them on December 30 or earlier. So far, we have reached 190 families in the province of Cagayan.

Thanks donors and volunteers. May this venture blessed all our benefactors.🙏

May we all have a Blessed Christmas!
