04-22-2015 Exciting News!

Praise God! I had my second Biospy last week, I was really apprehensive about it, since I didn't have a good experience few months back. This time it went well...I've recovered well.

Since my clinical trail of  immune therapy for lung cancer failed, I started my first round of Chemotherapy last Wednesday. I had wanted to wait for another week to get mentally and physically ready for this battle, but the rate that my tumor cells are growing, my oncologist suggested otherwise.

On the same day of my chemo, our long-awaited foster daughter, Dena arrived from Beijing! It's a miracle that Dena was granted both Chinese passport and US visa to visit us.  She plans to stay here for few months or so...We thank God for this special gift!!!

Many of you does not know that besides battling my lung cancer, I was also advocating to pass a state legislative bill called AB 836 "California Tour Guides Act". Amazingly, it has passed the first Business Committee reading.  Like me, AB 836, it's ready for "Round 2" battle.

I am just so thankful God sends me great gifts in my dark moments!  Now, I want to ask for a bigger gift: a GIFT of Healthy and Joyful Life!

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE Jamie 

03-01-2015 Only Round 1

       Throughout my life journey, I have to close few chapters: "Leaving LA lifestyle to embrace Beijing", Letting go Baby Daniel"...by far closing "LA Tourism and Convention Board" chapter was the hardest. I thought I have gone thru enough drama in my life, I now even have to consider closing the chapter of my life.
       I was hoping and praying for positive news today! Unfortunately, my last 3 months of clinical trail of immunology therapy was not successful, so I am getting another biopsy and considering chemo next.  

      Even though I told myself: "Okay, this is only Round 1, it's not over yet!" I feel sad and depressed. I hate defeating, but I will still keep my FAITH a and TRUST  God has the best plan for me.
