2008-04-01 update photos...showing yet another growth
(behind left ear)
...this one appeared in 24 hours after Lina's received several bottles of
"drip" at local hospital (for fever)
....which makes us think that maybe the two other small growths
also appeared as result of previous drips
...which means that all three small growths may not be cancers but drip liquid
with nowhere to go?
The story of Lina - by John W
In October 2007 I was asked to pray with Lina by one of her friends (who knew that our Zhaoqing team spends quite a bit of time ministering to the sick). 20 year old Lina had a terrible cancer near her right ear. No more chemotherapy was possible without depriving her of speaking and eating. A losing battle for both Chinese and Western medicine.
For two months our team visited her at home, a two hour return trip. At home
she spent the day alone in a dark room.
On December 9 Lina moved to our Marco Polo Center where we have a clinic, one
hundred lively children, fresh air and daily care.
On January 26, 2008 Zoobiotics in Wales kindly donated some medical maggots to
treat Lina. The maggots did a good job at cleaning Lina's wound but could not
reduce its size. In March 2008 we started using zeolite volcanic drops which
have had success in similar cases in USA. (another
zeolite link)
As Eugene de Mazenod said: "try everything!"
From a human point of view, Lina's prospects are not great, even though her
strong faith and goodness have kept her going way past the doctors' expiry date.
She also has two new growths, one near her throat, one near her left ear.
From the prayer angle, we keep plugging away...praying especially for healing of
Lina's family tree....she has six older sisters...she was given away to kind
foster parents when only two days old...her own parents going on eventually to
produce a longed-for son. (Not a few cases here have been helped by our team
when the Lord of History to whom all time belongs was asked to heal past damage
caused by neglect/rejection/abortions/hurts etc).
Lina has a daily walk, practises positive thinking, listens to good music, does
her own cooking/cleaning/washing, is always kind and
considerate of others....and receives Communion each day
Many thanks, dear friends, for including Lina in your prayers!

A memorable trip to Hong Kong to get maggots for Lina (from diary of Feb 6) Can be done....info may be useful
for others: About 7pm on Friday night Jan 25, I received a phone
call from Zoobiotics Centre in Wales, UK to say that maggot bandages for Lina
had arrived in HK (several days earlier than expected) and needed to
be applied immediately or maggots would die. No HK friends could be found
at such short notice to bring parcel to Zhaoqing....so at 9.30pm I set out
in freezing cold and rain and mud to walk to San Mau village...then taxi
to front of railway station...where (the first of many signs of
Providence..) a bus from Lo Ding just happened to be stopped on its way to
Guangzhou...so I got a ticket (Y20) and arrived in Guangzhou about
11.30....at which hour there was no bus to Shenzhen....but I discovered
there's a network of taxis...some real taxis some moonlighting private
cars....gathered at strategic points of Guangzhou for various
destinations...(just as in HK there are special places for cross-harbor
taxis) so I went to Shenzhen rendezvous and got taxi to Shenzhen for
Y250 (try beating that price at midnight...). Then discovered that
Shenzhen Huang Gong border crossing is open 24 hours...with buses on HK
side every 30 minutes to usual places (Mong Kong, Wan Chai etc). This
enabled me to get to Notre Dame at 3.15am...where I spent less than 30
seconds inside the door collecting parcel and was on 3.30 return bus from
Mong Kong (Prince Edward Rd) to Haung Gong...then another Y250 taxi to
Guangzhou (try beating that price at 4.30am...)....after not a little
triple negotiating with various parties as they played shift the goal
posts game....arrived bus station next to Guangzhou old railway station at
6.20am in time for first bus (6.30am) to Zhaoqing...arrived Zhaoqing about
8.30am.....and was back at Marco Polo before 9am ...in time
for Macau Hope Group medical team to professionally apply bandages to Lina.
An incredible night. DG it went safely. Please see me if you
need an overnight return tour to HK! |
