I am writing for David today. After going to the ER on Saturday the 27th, at the recommendation of the oncologist, because the pain in his leg was worse (he couldn't walk) and he had pain in his chest, he was seen on Monday the 29th by the orthopaedist who decided to operate on his hip that same day because a tumour there rendered it very likely to break. it was done under spinal anaesthesia. They put "cement" in the weak part, and pin and screw. He is recuperating from that at Charles-Lemoyne hospital. He should be able to walk. He was up on the chair for 2 meals yesterday. We still need to know the plan for the rest of the problems (tumours elsewhere). They are adjusting the medication so that his pain should be well controlled but not too many side effects like "sluggishness".
Many people are praying, sending notes, offering to help. Thank you so much. We see you are God's extended hands and heart.
"'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10

For the many friends who support me in my battle with cancer.
About Me
The Journey
When I first learned that I had cancer, it didn't seem too serious. The tumour was just beneath the skin, so the surgeon took it out and I started taking treatments to prevent a relapse. However, in January 2009, I found out out that the treatments weren't working and I have new tumours. There is no medical cure, only therapies that may slow the disease down. These work in about 30% of the cases. If they don't work, I can expect to die in 1 to 2 years.
My life, therefore, is in God's hands.
