Heartbreaking News

Received an e-mail today from my friend Sock Kim, who attends the same church we do. She was diagnosed with nasopharygeal cancer 2 years ago and underwent treatment.

Her latest scan shows 3 nodules (tumors) growing in her right lung. She will be going for a major lung surgery on Mon, 22 Dec 2008 to remove them. The surgery is scheduled at 8am & will take about 2-3 hrs.

Do join me to pray for this Sock Kim. Her blog www.sockkim.blogspot.com gives details and her prayer requests as follows:

Please pray that :
  • the Lord will guide Prof Koong & his medical team as they perform this delicate surgery.
  • nothing will go wrong during & after the surgery (eg no infection, stroke or bleeding).
  • the surgery will be successful in removing all the affected areas in the right lung.
  • there will be no or minimal post-surgery side-effects (eg numbness, pain).
  • whatever the result (malignant or benign), the Lord will grant me His strength & peace as I go through yet another trial.
