I talked with Lisa last night. It is special for them to have some friends from home around. Hermie Wolfes from Spanish Lookout are in Tijuana now, staying at the same hotel and taking treatments at the same clinic as Dave's do. So it feels "Gemeinschaftlich" for Dave, Lisa and Torry. It gives them opportunities to have lunch together, etc.
Also Menno Friesen from Nova Scotia visited them yesterday. He is staying with Hein Penners at another clinic in Tijuana.
Today they plan to start giving Torry Avastin, which is the medication that is supposed to kill the cancer. Please PRAY that it will be affective!!
Lisa feels a lot better already, yet continues to receive treatments.
They begin with treatments each morning at 10 bz time, and are done by 3 o' clock, sometimes they are done a bit earlier.
