AL & Deela Prayer Alert

You might remember Al & Deela Dyck, who spoke to our church last Summer. Here is an update from Al's blog about Deela's ongoing struggle with cancer.

Yesterday 10 November was the day to visit the doctor. The appointment had been moved from Tuesday because the hospital was installing a new computeradding to our waiting and wondering . . . The news was not great news. The cancer has not visibly spread but the CT showed that one of the two tumors they've been watching has grown. Her tumor markers has also risen up from 93 to 130 which is significant. This means the Taxol isn't working. So today she is beginning a new drug - which I don't know how to spell at the moment. It is a very strong medicine so they'll only give it once every four weeks.

This is obviously very disheartening news for us. Yet, we going into this new phase of treatment hoping that it will kick the cancer into remission. Would you continue praying with us that this would indeed happen?

Let's lift these folks up in prayer; I am sure an encouraging note on Al's blog would also help them.
