We will be in Beijing for part of the trip to visit some specialist doctors there. The doctors want to do multiple days worth of tests on my dad.

Surprised Doctors
The doctors at the hospital were surprised by the results of my dad's CT-PET scans. Going into it, they told us the goal was to get the tumor smaller, and long-term wise, gene therapy is just supposed to stabilize the cancer. You learn to "live with cancer", meaning it isn't totally gone, but it's not actively growing or spreading. They don't advertise gene therapy as a cancer-cure.
My dad's doctors said they've never seen these results before in a stage 3 or 4 cancer patient.
A number of people were praying with us for my dad's complete healing, and I truly was praying it with faith that God could do it. I knew He could. Yet, when it happened, there's still this surprise, like "WOA, seriously God?" I don't know why I was so shocked, I shouldn't be! About the next thing that came into my mind was "Alright, gotta keep praying for mom".
On Sunday, my dad will be speaking at a fellowship in ShenZhen. He's getting more of his strength back, after having a fever again and having less of an appetite. The next steps are still uncertain, since the results just came back. There is the option to continue with more treatments, or possibly return home earlier. We will keep people posted. In the meantime, Kyun and I are still scheduled to leave for China early next week.
