Help Dewi & Jon fight Lymphoma!

    UPDATE FROM JON:

    Hi family, friends and well wishers.

    Dewi, Felix and myself returned to Lombok on Thursday two weeks ago after finishing Dewis final PET scan and doctors consultation.

    The scan went well and after hearing news from the doctors in Lombok that the tumor had gone into remission, these tests in Jakarta were a additional in making sure that we're 100% clear with what is happening with Dewis body. And guess what....?

    We bloody smashed it! 😁😁😁

    No sign of continued growth at any of the tumor sites and Dewi is in great health. We are over the moon and so happy to be able to put that chapter to the side and focus on other things in our lives. I say to the side because there will always need to be tests done but for now we are all good!

    Back when I heard the news in New Zealand all those months ago, I wasn't quite sure how we were going to get through this. I wasn't sure how or who to ask for help. To be honest, I felt like I had this unmovable weight on my shoulders (not to mention how my poor wife was feeling) and so finally I thought to ask for help. I cant thank you enough for being there for me and my family. I couldn't do this on my own and I needed other people's support.

    I had to put aside my pride and thought "that it is a time I need help and guidance from others".

    I'd like others to remember that if you're ever in a situation where you are confused, burdened with what seems like a situation than you can't get out of or things just aren't going your way - then please don't be afraid to ask for help.

    I truly believe these results are because of the help that we got from friends, family and people who heard our story and wanted to pitch in.

    Sure we could have made it work somehow without the donations etc but all the messages of support and love are what helped push me through this time.

    Dewi and I could not be more grateful, humbled and overwhelmed with people's kindness.

    We thank everyone who messaged us, called us and donated to us.

    We couldn't have done this without you! And how awesome - Dewi is in the clear!!

    Thank you so much 🙏

    A MESSAGE FROM JON IN LOMBOK, INDONESIA:

    Merry Christmas everyone from Dewi, Felix and Jon 🙏

    This time last year we were sitting down for Christmas dinner in Whangarei, New Zealand and it was the first time Dewi and Felix had been to NZ. We would love to be back there but this year has thrown so many curve balls at us that we are just grateful to be happy and healthy here in Lombok.

    We are past the half way stage of Dewi's chemotherapy treatment and so far so good. She's strong and healthy and has a positive attitude about the future, which is all I can hope for. At the start of next year we have the fifth treatment to do and then the last one at the end of January. There have been some tough days and messages from friends and family have really helped me out.

    Thank you so much to everyone who has been following our journey and appreciate the love and support more than you can know.

    Terima kasih banyak 🙏🙏🙏

      Hi John, Dewi & Felix

      So lovely to see your big smiles! Thank you for letting us know how things have gone - and it's indeed wonderful to hear the good news. We look forward to the day when you are perhaps able to visit Nina in NZ

      and maybe we can give you a big congratulations hug for hanging in there and pushing on through. All the very best. We will pray for continued good health.
