Rugby Season has started

Wow I cant believe that nearly half the year has gone by and I haven’t updated James blog.  Maybe its because it feels like he is back to his old self and I didn’t want to be reminded of his illness.   This year James has faced many challenges, including attending school fulltime and playing rugby again.  I was so excited recently when James got a try in his very first game of the season, not only because he scored points for his team but because it meant that he had completed another milestone in his recovery.  Check out the photo his sister, Alofa took of him.

 

James is now half way through his maintenance stage of treatment and is tolerating his chemotherapy very well.  He has also been very healthy apart from a few hours spent in hospital with a suspected viral infection a few months ago.  Another significant milestone in James recovery is that his bone marrow biopsy results have all been clear with no cancer cells detected.  I am so thankful to God and to everyone who continues to pray for James in his recovery. It is not over yet but with every clear bone marrow biopsy James is nearer to beating this horrible disease.
