WE ARE BACK (after a very challenging year)

We are so sorry that it has been a year since we have made any posts. As many of you know, I, Linda, discovered a lump in my breast in the first week of October, 2008. Since then I have had surgery for breast cancer with 7 lymph nodes involved, 8 sessions of IV chemotherapies (over 6 months), followed by 6 weeks of radiation therapy which finished on June 19th. I wish I could say that it is over, but recovery continues. However, I have received excellent care from the oncology department at our local Liberec hospital and continue to be well-cared for. Thank you all who faithfully prayed and supported us through this difficult ordeal.

Throughout it all, Ken managed to continue 5 English conversation groups, organize a retreat for our 2 adult groups, fulfill other outreach requests, maintain our household and nurse Linda through the worst of times. He is a true hero. I was able to participate on a limited basis between treatments as my immunity system allowed.
