This month marks the 3 year anniversary of Gary's stem cell transplant. At this time, 3 years ago, we could see the 'light at the end of the tunnel' as far as his treatment went, but there was still uncertainty of Gary beating the cancer. We have 2 more years before the doctors will officially declare him "Cancer free."
So many things have happened in 3 years!. We were able to return to the Philippines to continue the work that God had called us to do, but the recovery process has been slow.
The cancer did so much damage to the nerves in Gary's left arm and eye. He struggles to do common, every day things and deals with severe pain that will be with him the rest of his life.
BUT...
He has been able to keep up with a full schedule of preaching and training ...
Celebrate another birthday ...

For which, we are very thankful!
Life can be so long and painful. Praise the Lord that we have hope beyond this world. :)
