On March 20, Philip Lee is going to see his doctor again at the outpatient clinic and receive three injections over six hours: first, a water injection; second, an anti-cancer injection, and third, another water injection. It is necessary for him to receive water injections because the anti-cancer injection is too strong for his body.

After that, he will take medicine daily for two weeks, and for the third week, he will rest and strengthen his body and will not be taking any anti-cancer injections or medicine. In this way he will have eight cycles of chemotherapy, having a three week cycle for each treatment. Overall, it will take six months. The week after taking the anti-cancer injection will be the most difficult for him. The second week will be a little bit better, and the third week will be easier for him and a time of rest.

He is always at home getting rest, except when he attends the Sunday worship service at the Bible center.  From March 14-16, he will be out of town for fresh air and rest at a health resort.

Prayer topics:

1. God may strengthen his body and enable him to gain weight (he lost weight because he couldn't eat well due to the side effects from the chemotherapy).
2. God may help him to have victorious faith holding on to the living word of God. Thank you for your earnest prayers for him.

In Christ,
Moses Yoon
