The following is the latest update posted at www.tabjoy.org which is the website for Bro. Willoughby's church in Singapore. Although this doesn't address the issue of the brain tumors or the bleeding on the brain, I believe prayer is making a difference!
Dear Friends,
Firstly, thank you for your continuous prayers for Bro and Sis Willoughby and Tabernacle of Joy. Your selfless dedication in standing alongside us at this difficult time has touched us deeply.
On Monday, 17 November 2008, Bro Willoughby underwent a lung biopsy. The doctors were unable to find any growth in the lungs however they did find a growth in the space between the lung and the heart which was removed. The histopathologist confirmed that the growth is cancer. Additional investigations will be undertaken on Tuesday, 18 November to determine the type and origin of the cancer.
Since his admission to hospital over a week ago, the atypical presentation of Bro Willoughby's illness has confounded the doctors. Without a firm, conclusive diagnosis, the doctors are unable to formulate an appropriate treatment plan. The focus of prayer at this time should be as follows:
That the full extent of this sinister illness in Bro Willoughby's body will reveal itself
That the doctors will have the wisdom and clinical acumen to order the appropriate tests and devise an appropriate treatment plan.
This battle is not yet over, but this battle belongs to the Lord.
Standing on His promises
