friends

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.

Thanks for Praying

Thank you friends, for praying. Your prayers have made a big difference already. Please keep on praying. Torry has less pain , and he doesn't need to take much pain medication anymore. He only takes 200 mg Ibuprofen for the night. He sleeps very good at night, which the Doctor says is a good sign. The doctor still feels very hopeful that Torry's cancer is shrinking. They are slowly stepping up with Torry's treatments, but still not giving the strongest meds yet which they plan to give in a couple days. 
Lisa begins to feel better , but still tired. The Lord has been good to us. -Dave (posted by Tina)

Aug.31

Plans now are for Dave n Lisa and Torry to stay in Tijuana till Aug. 31. The doctor is very positive that Torry will do well if they stay for 6 weeks of treatments.
They are giving him treatments (Avastin) that are supposed to attack his genetic problem.
Torry has been having back pain, but the last several days that has improved.
Lisa has not been feeling very good the last couple days , so she stayed at the hotel more. -Tina RF

Here is an update from Dave. -Tina

   Thanks for all of you who are praying for Torry's appetite.  Yesterday Torry said to his Mom & Dad: "I am feeling better today because of all the people who are praying for me." God already did heal some more, but please continue to pray for strength and Healing . His appetite has improved some already, praise the Lord .  Looking forward to tomorrow, because we are expecting  Ervin & Norma Friesen and family from Oasis, Mexico  to visit us one day and night .  Dave & Lisa Torry
