I am very glad to report some news that one of the clinic patients, Milagritos, received recently.....she is cancer free!!! Considering the odds that this girl has faced it is quite exciting to receive this news. One year ago she had a rapidly growing ovarian germ cell tumor (which weighed several kilos) and has been through surgery, scary nights in hospitals, countless needles and many rounds of chemo. Thank you to all who prayed for her and sent something in to the patient fund. A Dios sea la Gloria!!!
Also, I will be returning to Peru in December for a visit after a few hard months of school in Birmingham (Surgical Physician Assistant program). I have only been here for 2 or 3 weeks and have already learned un monton (a ton)! I am so thankful to be here, even more so after my time in Peru...I can't wait to get back!
In the meantime, you can follow more clinic news here, on the Medical Missions new blog on the Peru Mission website.
And I am collecting supplies to bring back with me at Christmas time!! Small gloves, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, any OTC meds..., parasite meds if you have those available to you! Anything is helpful!!
