Oh No: Sean my Dr. Last week after my last CT Scan, He told me my cancer had gotten worse and he had done all he could do and sent me home.
No doubt I have been blessed in that the Lord has blessed me by bringing me through the first three lung cancers by giving me more time with my family and friends and church. This time may be the time He's calling me home. But if that is the case I am still greatly blessed. I want to thank all my what next. Friends for their support and prayers. May the Lord bless and keep your within His loving arms.almost 5 years ago -

Haven't heard from you in a while, How you doing? I'm back in Cancer care again. YEA. I'm not on chemo this time though, they started me on a new drug, OPDIVO , it is supposed to build my immune system to fight the cancer cells' growth. I take it like chemo but with no premeds and 1 bag only takes 1 hour and I will be doing this every 2 weeks. Not exactly what I was wanting to report but God has been good to me, and I must go through round 4, then that's what I will do. God's love XXXOOO
