UPDATE #07

Sorry for not updating for a while, it's been very busy and the internet is not great here.

 

We are now back in Bali.  Ayu is still very weak but her general physical condition hasn't changed in the last few weeks.  She has good days and bad which is understandable given the terrible prognosis handed down. We've had her checked out at Siloam hospital and have been referred to a local well know oncologist Dr. Tjakra who has been dealing with cancer patients for many years and is considered one of the best here.  The doctors in Singapore recommended Chemotherapy using Cisplatin and Gemcitabine.  The doctor here suggest convinced us against using Cisplatin given her weak condition and it's terrible side effects.  He suggested to just go with Gemcitabine which isn't so heavy on the side effects and only administered to easy any suffering such as relieving the Ascites.  Once she decides that's what she wants to do we will get started.  She is also on various herbs and dietary suppliments which are supposed to help.

Thanks again to everyone for your support and donations, it's helped a lot.
