Del's in hospital

In the past few months Del has been doing very well.  The doctor put her on Dexamethasone, a mild steriod and she put on 4 kilos.  Even her cancer markers were down. She went on a day trip to French Island with Simone and other friends.

Last week, she went to hospital for a CT scan.  They found more tumours through her body and they recommended radiation therapy for her lower back.  She's had the 5 treatments and is much more active and in less pain.

She's now wanting to visit Tasmania!  Elwyn and Helen are making plans to take her within the next few weeks. This will fulfill a life long dream she's always had! She'll fly across, but Elwyn and Helen will take their 4WD van so she can get around.

She's still witnessing to everyone, including the nursing staff and fellow patients.  She remains a huge inspiration to so many of us!  Keep it up Del!

She's still loves to receive text message of love and encouragement, but please understand if she can't always reply!

We greatly appreciates the many people praying for her.  The local Moe church members have just had a day of prayer and fasting for her.
