I have now had 16 Infusions of Opdivo, The last cat
scan showed improvement in both lungs. The tumors in the right lung are very
faint and the fluid in the left is gone and the tumors have shrunk a little bit.
My labs are great and over all I feel pretty good. I thank you for your prayers.
Keep them going.

I have had 7 infusion treatments in the last 12
weeks. The infusion only attacks the bad cells. So far I am status quo. There is
a little more blockage in the upper left lung but do to the fact that all my
blood work and vitals are in the excellent range and that I feel really good the
Dr. is pleased. I will continue the infusion through July and then have another
cat scan in August. Will let you know later about the Sept 15th-16th get
together.
Thanks for caring. Sharon

I had my 6th chemo 12/27/16. Had consultation with
my Dr. today. After reviewing my cat scan from yesterday my tumors have
not shrunk anymore but they have not grown. I am now off treatment for two
weeks. Will re-evaluate my situation then. Will probable try another
chemo to see if we can get further shrinkage. Needless to say I was
disappointed but will continue to pray for remission. Meanwhile I feel
good and look pretty good. Keep the prayers coming.

This is an update on my ongoing cancer treatment. I have had 3 chemo
treatments and 20 radiation treatments. I had the 4th today. Met
with the oncologist yesterday and the tumors have shrunk. I am not in
remission yet but hoping this one will do the trick. There is a
possibility I will have two more chemo treatment. I thank you for your prayers
and support especially the prayers. Keep them going up to the boss.
Just an update on the power of prayers you all have been saying for me.
Yesterday was two weeks since my last radiation treatment. I had a cat scan to
see what was what. Well, very good news. The spot on the right rib is GONE.
Hooray. The two very minute spots on the lower right lung have not changed and
the doctor feels that chemo will get rid of them. The upper left lung is
shrinking and showing signs of remission. I will start another 10 days of
radiation next Monday as I am still coughing up a little bloody sputum. I
started chemo yesterday and all is well. Please continue to pray for me and Bill
as we continue on this journey. We love to travel but didn't plan on this trip.
No beaches or cruise ports in Kansas. (HA)
Will keep you all updated. Thanks so much for your support. Love, Sharon
I have had 3 of 10 radiation treatments as of today. Will start
chemo on Sept. 13. Would appreciate all of your prayers.
Thanks, Sharon

I decided to inform you all of my situation by
E-mail instead of phone. Four weeks ago I was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Have been waiting until now to tell you all as facts were not complete as to
treatment. We are very optimistic we will have a good out come. I
ask for your prayers as I will need your strength in the coming months. Love,
Sharon
