Quick Update

Hi all. We seem to have finally sorted out the issues with our internet line. We have been away in the Cederberg since Christmas and are home for 1 day before heading out to camp in Kleinmond where Pete and I are participating as a team in the Totalsports Challenge (a multisport event). Were doing the "Terra Firma event". Pete is doing the road and mountain biking and I am doing the road and beach run. We need prayer for our heads! The South Easter is set to be pumping and it's all into the wind. So keep us in your prayers pleeeez :-)

I just had to share the latest news with you before leaving. Nikki got her test results back yesterday and her doctor says that she has never had a patient respond so well to treatment. The cancer in her liver has reduced to a tiny spot. Also, the breast tissue is almost looking normal again. I am not sure about the areas in the bone at this stage but we are rejoicing nonetheless.

Because she has responded so well, Nikki's doctor would like her to continue a few more sessions with the liver chemotherapy. The only "bad news" is that the medical aid have refused to pay for further chemo treatments. Nikki's doctor is motivating for more treatments but please keep them in prayer regarding this.

Gotta run...family are waiting in car to leave for Kleinmond. More news when we get back.
