Long-time blog readers will know that David Wayne and I struck up a close blogging friendship some years ago despite the fact he is on the opposite side of the Atlantic and is in a very different kind of church to me. Just before Christmas the Christian blogosphere was rocked to hear that he was suffering from bowel cancer which had already spread to the lungs and liver. An operation and some gruelling chemotherapy later, and David has been able to share the following update this week:
“. . . the tumors they are watching and measuring all seem to be about the same or maybe slightly smaller. I have two nodules they are watching in my lungs which are less than a centimeter. Our biggest concern is that I have two tumors in my liver. The largest one measured 2.5 cm last time and 2.4 cm this time. The smaller one was 1.5 cm last time and 1.4 cm this time. Since the last one was at a different facility the doctor didn’t seem to want to say that the tumors are definitely shrinking because the difference is so small, but it seems very apparent that they are at least stable.” JOLLYBLOGGER: Health Update 10-2-09I was glad to be able to speak with David on iChat about a week ago, even before he had the results, and he seemed in good form and reported feeling well. I tried to persuade him to take a break from work and come and visit me here in London with his family, but we shall see if that is possible.
