A bit of a scare - but with a good result

Update posted by CHRIS RUTH LAO-KIDS

Chantha was rushed to hospital on Monday in extreme pain. Of course, we were very worried for her.

The good news is that the hospital got the pain under control and she is feeling much better. They suspect the previous chemotherapy dose was a bit high as she is so tiny.

She returned to LP today and Ruth and Chris went to see her. She appeared very bright and chirpy and had been eating and sleeping better since the pain reduction. Her weight has remained steady (around 50kg which is still well below her normal weight), and the best news of all is that there has been a measurable decrease in the size of her tumours.

She is very keen to personally take control of fighting the cancer while she is able, and has embraced cooking and eating the various food supplements and chia seeds and quinoa we've provided her.

So keep sending those messages of support to her... we print them out and she says she reads them over and over again when she is lying in bed.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this fundraising. If you know of others who would also like to help, they can also do so via the www.lao-kids.org web site as we lose less in commission that way.

Many thanks, Ruth and Chris
