Guo began his first chemo treatment Tuesday that is administered over a 5 day period. They have had sufficient funds to pay for the surgery and his first chemotherapy. He will need 4 to 6 treatments and the price will vary. Presently they are using Chinese medicine that is not too expensive. If he does not respond properly, they will have to use imported medicine that cost 8,000 Yuan ($1,290 USD) per treatment. They have some insurance coverage but not adequate to cover the imported medicine. Please pray that the Chinese medicine will be effective. The deaf and disabled workers at Hearts and Hands have taken up two collections to help them. They have very little money themselves, yet they are reaching out to help. Pray that God will bless them as they give and that others will also contribute to help off-set Guo's medical expenses.
Guo is supposed to have treatments every two weeks. He stays at the hospital during the day and goes home in the evening because he is sharing a bed with another patient that uses it at night.
Pray for Diane
Our good friend, and fellow Texan in Hong Kong goes for her 6th Chemo treatment on Wednesday. She did experience fever again last week but has recovered. Keep praying for her healing.
Diane, Guo and Susan have all been faithful to share God's goodness as they have walked thru these difficult times.
We praise God for His faithfulness to help, encourage, sustain and bless them.
