Away at Gopeng for a weekend of rest and rejuvenation. You can look at more pictures via my FaceBook link here.

Connecting across the globe

A visitor to this blog shared with me his journey being a caregiver to his wife. It was such an interesting story that I managed to get it published in The Star today (Nov 21 2012). Cameron reminds me that we are all connected in wanting to share and encourage one another, near or far.

A pillar of strength in his wife's cancer journey

By CAMERON VON ST JAMES

One writer shares how he cared for his wife through her cancer journey.

The book is out!

Yeah, the book is out. 3,000 copies have been printed and nearly half have already been ordered by friends, support groups, oncology wards, etc. In these past few days, I managed to pass on to those who are not so familiar with my journeys. I am glad they are encouraged by the book. For those of you who may be viewing this blog from overseas, please click on the link to the right for a pdf version. If you would like a print copy please email me at ewejin@gmail.com. Please do not post comments here as I cannot connect with you through your postings. :)

Latest edition of Face to Face with Cancer out soon

The latest edition, the sixth in the series, will be out soon. This will include the third journey as well as selected material from the earlier two journeys.

Gone to the jungle to see the falls...

Recently, my wife and I, plus a few friends, went jungle trekking. It was a great adventure indeed as we connected with nature. Here is the link to the pictures via Picassa.

The all clear

Visitors may notice that I do not keep this blog as updated as my FaceBook. I am keeping this blog as it allows those who need the book Face to Face with Cancer to download the pdf editions here. Also, for those who follow my column, Sunday Starters (previously Monday Starters), I keep most of the articles here also though I am aware there may be missing links for the older ones.
Well, I wish to update the good news about my cancer journey. On April 23, I did the PET-CT scan and the results were all clear. See how happy I am, holding the test results. All organs are clear and the nose area, where the cancer was, is also clear. Praise God. If you want to comment, please also send me an email at ewejin@gmail.com.
