Its been an absolute thrill to be back in the country that I love for a holiday after being away for nearly nine months.
Over the past 6 months I have been undergoing chemotherapy and numerous other treatments to try and fight off an extremely rear disease that hes been attacking my nerve system.
For the last few years my body has been producing a rouge anti body called "Mag " that has been attaching its self to my nerve fibres and progressively destroying them, It has been a difficult experience as I helplessly watched my body slowly degenerating. Knowing very little about the disease and less about treating it my neurologist refer ed me to the Cancer hospital in Manchester where they eventually discovered the Mag anti body causing the problem.
The hematologists got together and decided to give me a strong course of a particular type of chemotherapy in the hope that it would kill the anti body and so stop the progression of the disease.
On January 11th both my neurologist consultant, and my hematologist consultant at the Christie in Manchester gave me the go ahead to go back to Mozambique. Its currently looking like the spread to the disease is now no longer getting worse and could even be starting to reverse its self! I am due to see my consultants again mid April. Thank you so much every one who has been praying for me, for so long, and sorry for not being in touch for so long,
Its been such a joy to visit friends again and so see our children at the orphanage, our churches and other projects we are currently running in this beautiful but very needy country
Thank you for journeying with us in the exciting work God has given us to do, please continue to pray for vision Mozambique, that God would continue to lead and guide us into all that He has planned for us to do.
God bless
Pete
