Dear all,

Thank you so much for all of your support in the past few days when I was extremely devastated, losing hope, losing focus and didn't know what to do.

After several discussions with the oncologists, surgeon, my mum has made her decision yesterday. Even though she knows the success rate is less than 10 percent, she is willing to take her change and give a try. She will have one more surgery next Wed to remove the tumors in her liver and lung. She is such as fighter and I really admire her and proud of her. She is so brave, with courages. She keeps asking me not to worry too much.

Her surgery has been scheduled on July 27 at 11:00am Hong Kong time (July 26 8pm California time). Please pray for her.

Thank you very much again for your great support and advice!
Love to you all,
Dora

    It really does sound like your mom is a fighter, and she could be a part of that 10%. I believe our attitude has a lot to do with our surviving. I wish you and your mom well and will be sending prayers your moms way. Lori.

    Your mom is an inspiration.
    Your mom is an inspiration. I know most of what kept my mom fighting was because I could not let her go, she did it for me, which I will always be grateful for. Prayers for you all.

    Thank you very very much, BIG HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!
    Dear all,

    I honestly think without all of your support, I could never go through the past 9 months and to go on with the future. Your support, wise advice, care, prayers, hugs, love... mean SO SO MUCH to me.

    I know my mum is doing all these because of me. I'm very touch yet my heart is still aching to see her suffering all the pain.

    I really want to thank you all sincerely.
    Love to you all,
    Dora
