Update on Pastor Gulfan's Health Condition:
On Friday, March 28, while traveling to the United States for Spring Council at the General Conference, Pastor Gulfan felt a sharp pain while trying to retrieve his heavy luggage for Customs Inspection and clearance, leaving him feeling rather ill. As a result, he spent most of the weekend trying to recover in his hotel room. On Monday morning, he arrived at the GC headquarters, prepared to begin meetings- but as he passed one of the Education Directors in the hall, she told him he did not look very good and asked if she could get the doctor for him. Mrs. Cooper, the GC nurse, in consultation with the GC's Health Director, Dr. Peter Landless, examined him, and immediately sent Pr Gulfan to the Washington Adventist Hospital emergency room. That began a 10 day in-patient hospitalization. During this time, his wife Helen and his two boys came to join by his side.
Pr Gulfan has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which is basically a cancer of the blood and has caused some lesions near his spine and ribs. The good news is that the doctors tell him that this is a cancer that is treatable with a combination of radiation and chemo therapies. Also good news is that his testing and diagnostics are now complete and he is due to be released from the hospital tomorrow, April 9. He will be convalescing for the next couple of weeks at a friend's home as he continues to visit doctors on an out-patient basis to begin radiation treatments. Pastor Mark Finley shared in one of the GC pre-meetings, that the testing process that Pr Gulfan went through was very similar to his own, just a short time ago. Although the diagnosis was a bit different Pr Finley assured the Gulfan family of God's continual presence and that the treatment for multiple myeloma today is promising. This report was very encouraging to the family as well as to the many leaders attending the Council who have been praying for him many times throughout each day.
Pastor and Mrs Gulfan want to thank all who have been lifting him up in prayer for these past 10 days, as well as for the many notes of encouragement. While they are not able to respond to each one, they share that it is important for all who have sent them to know that each one has been read and has been deeply appreciated. Please continue to pray for Pr Gulfan as he begins this period of treatment, that the Lord will lead and his recovery will be successful.
