The next few updates about Andy may be sporadic as the G-T family are currently en route to France for a couple of weeks in the sun. Hopefully. Anyway, Andy goes back into hospital in Oxford tomorrow for the next stage of chemotherapy. Specific prayer points this time are; • a single room to be [...] Whoops – I’m a bit tardy with this update I’ve realised! Andy got home on Friday morning after a relatively smooth week of treatment.

Please pray [...] This week Andy’s cancer is being treated with two drugs as follows: Flush – 30 minutes Drug 1 – 4 hours Hydration – 12 hour bag Drug 2 – 4 hour bag Hydration – 12 hour bag Drug 1 – 4 hours Hydration – 12 hour bag Drug 2 – 4 hour bag Hydration – [...] Cancer cell being attacked by the immune system After a week at home with the family, Andy goes back into hospital in Oxford this morning for the next stage in his chemotherapy and would obviously value your continued prayers. This is another day of strong drugs, followed by a few days of getting his [...] It is with some happiness that I can tell you Andy is on his way home! Glucose levels reduced to a high-ish level within the normal range, and once the blood tests came back he was free to go.
