Not got a lot of time.
A member of my church/house group has a weird form of leukaemia that mainly affects older men (he's 65). He is having a course of chemotherapy that consists of a three weekly cycle of treatment: in hospital for the chemo, a course of steroids and then a break until the next bout of chemo. He's on other drugs too, but I don't have all the details.
He had his first course of chemo, which was pretty horrible for him, but all seemed ok. He nearly couldn't have his second course of the treatment because his neutrophils count was down to 0.9. (neutrophils do something in the immune system) We prayed for him fairly vigorously the night before his hospital appointment for his next blood count.
The results of that blood count where that, within 12 hours, his neutrophils where up to 4.1 (high average, apparently), his red blood cells where up to 9 grammes per whatever they are, and his white blood cells where up too, meaning that the chemotherapy could go ahead.
All of which, I hear, is medically inexplicable!
Praise God!
We are continuing to Pray for him, that God will fully heal him. Feel free to join in.
He has several children who are not in the Lord as yet, and we are praying that they will see what God is doing in Trev's life and seek God for themselves.
