On June 9, I went to the University Hospital in Columbia, Mo, and went through several examinations. On June 10, I also went to see the two oncology doctors. Thanks to be God.
The doctors’ diagnosis is: it is phase three of this cancer, but it is at the beginning, and so it is still curable. The tumor is located at the bottom of the stomach. In the bottom of the liver and pancreas were also some cancer cells, but they had not spread to other areas. If we cut off the tumor part, we need not worry about this for now. The doctors’ plan is to start treatment Monday, June 15. I will do two months’ chemotherapy, then rest for one month, then do the operation, then two months’ chemotherapy. The doctors have confidence, but it is still a major surgery. I need all of your prayers. May the sovereign Lord sovereign show His mighty healing power.
Thanks be to God. Columbia Chinese Christian Church cares for my family a lot. Not only do they provide meals, they also arranged transportation in to and from the hospital. I also thank God that the church has two physicians. They all take care of me well. Mrs.
Ko came back June 11 from California to care for me. Thanks for your concern from far away. My current situation will be updated frequently at the CWC’s website so you can know how to pray for me. Thanks be to God’s merciful hands and all of your love. I trust the Lord is working.
Because the problem and the medical treatment require much rest, I may not be able to answer your phone calls or emails. You can pray for me your usual ways. Also you can write your prayers and greetings on a card and mail to my home: Mr. and Mrs. Billy Ko,
1706 Sun Ct. Columbia, MO. 65201. Also you can call the Christian Witness Center at 660-438-7710 if you need details.
Thank you very much and God bless you.
