Dear family & friends,

Things haven’t been so great in my body the past few weeks, I’ve been having more pain and the past week or so at night it’s been intense, wrestling with pain….. trying to sleep. All that to say, we finally acted on a decision that we’ve had in the back of our minds for a long while now, that is to go to the Hoxsey clinic in Mexico, just south of USA border town San Diego. While there at this cancer clinic as a day patient, each day the oncologists and other medical professionals will formulate a regime for me, then they will send me home with medicines to continue taking. 

My practitioner in Australia recommended this a long while ago and with the new pain levels and inability to sleep we decided that we needed to take further action. We expect to be back in Thailand Sunday 12th September, so it will be a very quick trip…. only 7 days, including travel, if all goes well.

We both feel that this is the right decision, and even though it was a quick decision, we are glad to get some more help. I will have a full day of tests on Tuesday 7th, then the team of oncologists will make a decision about treatment for me. That is probably about when you should be getting this email in your inbox… so thanks for praying for me. 

If you’d like to help us pay for this we’d appreciate it, it was a huge step of faith, please ask us if you’d like to know what our costs are. Our travel agent said she’d front the costs and we could pay her later, once we have the funds. She is awesome and we so appreciate her support in this way. Even though our tax-deductibility for the ministry (Baan Nam Jai) changed recently and can no longer be tax-deductible, gifts to us personally via ARMS are still tax deductible.

We are not losing hope and I am determined to continue to fight this battle with all that is within me…….. Thanks for remembering us,

Paul & Penny
