Dear Friends,
My recent CAT results are in, and the picture is far from rosy. The scan shows a clear advance of my illness, particularly in the liver and the lungs. My oncologist said he would tell his other patients, “It’s over.” He said in my case, he would not say so since until now, I’ve beaten all survival odds. I responded that it was not my own efforts that have been keeping me alive, but God.
Without delay, I began a new cycle of chemo treatment yesterday. The treatment has been adjusted to a “more aggressive” level. It is my 37th cycle.
I wish I could share better news with you, but we must recognize the situation as it is. Your prayers are an anchor of hope. Thanks for not giving up on me.
Together we are stronger!

Santiago, your oncologist tells some patients “It’s over” yet a well-known singer Lenny Kravitz song is entitled “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over.” Jesus says, “I give (my sheep) eternal life and they will never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28). Be comforted by God’s ever-watchful loving care for you.
Thanks, David. Much appreciate your prayers. Jesus is our „Great Physician“. While I believe healing miracles to still occur today, the Lord always knows what is best and why.
Every blessing,
Santiago
Praise God! He is shining through you – your faith and confidence is inspiring!
Santiago, your faith is an inspiration to us all.
Love you man…
