Southeast Asia field leader declared cancer-free
by | 23 Feb 2016
Southeast Asia Field Strategy Coordinator David Phillips has been declared cancer-free and approved to return to work.
Phillips shared the following update on his Facebook page last week:
"Good news! The CT scan is clear! I am done with chemo and there is no evidence of cancer. Thank you all for praying and for keeping up with us!
"I will have some lingering numbness for about 1 to 2 months but that should be declining now on a weekly basis.
"I also need to start exercising on a regular basis to rebuild my physical strength."
Phillips was diagnosed with Stage-3 colon cancer in July. Following surgery, he underwent several months of chemotherapy.
The Global Mission Medical Committee recommended Phillips' return to active status February 22. Collin Elliott has served as interim field strategy coordinator since August.
Phillips' specific return date will be determined in the near future.
