* Sam Kong’s condition — 2nd round of chemotherapy is over, and I am at peace right now. Just had a checkup, and the doctor indicated that after the 3rd round of chemotherapy next Thursday, I might have to do radiotherapy (there are a lot of tumorous lymph nodes, and I might need a bone marrow transplant), but everything hinges on the PET scan after chemotherapy. Because my bone marrow has not been affected before, if the third chemotherapy goes well, I pray to be spared radiotherapy or bone marrow transplant. (Radiotherapy might affect the head, neck and vocal chords; that would severely restrict my ability to speak and spread the Word.) The next month will be crucial, and I will need to perform well. Please pray that the medicines will be effective! – Bro. Sam.
