Hello friends,
Since I posted last week's update about young Edwin, both he and Jonah have made 3 more round trips to Nairobi and Tenwek hospitals, for treatment and testing. Some of the test results have been
sent out of country for consultations to help the doctors know best how to treat Edwin's disease of
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Right now Edwin is on a drug called Glivec or Imatinib. Based on what I've read this seems to be a very good drug and a newer treatment for this kind of cancer.
Edwin needs your prayerful and financial support to continue his treatment and also possible new living accommodations as space is rather crowded. He and Jonah have been travelling by overnight bus to save on costs.
If you can help, donations can be made here.
Your help is worth more than you can realize.
God bless you for whatever you can do.
Asking God to pour out blessings upon Edwin in everyway. Thanks for the update, and pictures.

DeleteI'm praying with you for Edwin. It's such a challenge for these dear folks whose lives are being challenged by the big "C" word.
ReplyDeleteHi Fred, thank you for your prayers. They mean so much. The big "C" is happening with many people over in Africa just as it is here. The difference is they do not have the means to get the treatment they need. I'm praying for your too my friend. God blesses and heals.
