Picked for cancer video, spiritual head of home

Great news! Gohan was picked for the El Camino Hospital cancer video! As mentioned in our last post, Gohan was recommended by our oncologist Dr. Dormady for a cancer video, which will be shown at the annual El Camino Hospital gala on May 21 this year. After a phone interview, the hospital and the advertisement agency decided to feature Gohan as one of the two patient stories! The video team will come to film us next week. We felt deeply honored and were once again very touched by God's love and amazed by His work, which is beyond our imagination.  

Gohan teaches how to be a spiritual head of home

We have also taken up new challenges in sharing what we have learned - we joined the Family Ministry team to teach 'Spiritual head of home' this quarter in our church's equipping classes. I have been privileged to witness the amazing growth of Gohan in the past two years and am proud to be his supporter and testimony. We feel propelled to share our experience and wish that more people can receive the joy and blessings we have, without having to go through this difficult cancer journey.  

 

Our trusted oncology NP Katie Khul, and Immunotherapy #3

Gohan finished three immunotherapy sessions and is feeling much better than when he was receiving chemotherapy. He is keeping up with his daily 10K-steps goal and has been going to his office to work more frequently. Hence, more biweekly infusion sessions have been planned for the next couple of months. The immunotherapy must have boosted his immune system as he is having hay fever symptoms again this spring season. He also has regained some of his abilities to taste, so eating now is more pleasurable. Nevertheless, nothing increases his appetite more than eating in the company of friends and family. Therefore, we welcome company and will be honored to have you as our guests. We can either dine out or eat in. Just let us know when you are free!

Candidate for a cancer video

Gohan got a surprise call today from an advertisement agency about a video that it is making for El Camino Hospital. Evidently, Dr. Dormady has recommended Gohan as a candidate for an upcoming cancer video. Based on the script that the agency sent us, the video is about cancer patient's journey and dream, and there will only be a few patients featured in the video. Wow! What an honor! Dr. Dormady doesn't know Gohan's wishes or much about his personal life, but he must have seen something in Gohan that prompts him to recommend Gohan out of his 1000+ cancer patients!

Dr. Dormady is our trusted oncologist

When Gohan called me from his office to tell me this news, we both cried with happy tears because we believed it is the work of God and couldn't help but feel amazed. God surely knows how much Gohan wants to be His testimony of love and of His power of transformation. We believe that He is using this opportunity to encourage Gohan and to use him as His vessel (2 Timothy 2:21). We have been sharing our story in the Chinese community, now we may go mainstream. We realize that God can do so much bigger than what we can imagine!  (Ephesian 3:20)

There will be a phone interview next Monday to determine if Gohan's story will fit the video theme. Regardless of the outcome, we are grateful for the opportunity because it is a recognition of Gohan's transformation and fighting spirit, and also an evidence of God's love. We want to tell you this news firsthand, so you can share our amazement!
