Future looks bright!

A blood test for pancreatic cancer cells reveals that Sharon is responding very well to the chemotherapy! WHOOO HOOOOO!!!

She is also clear of infection and looks forward to heading back to Asheville tomorrow. She's scheduled for another round of IV chemo in Greenville on Thursday.

Early departure

Sharon arrived in Greenville a day (before her scheduled outpatient check up) because of a high grade fever. She was admitted to St. Francis and is in room 517. Her fever has reduced significantly and she's under observation.

Home already? YES!

What a great session in Greenville! With just a bit of experimenting, Sharon quickly stabilized with the IV treatment and was released from the hospital in record time! She is enjoying time in Asheville before an outpatient check up on Friday in Greenville. She should stay put for about 10 more days before the IV chemo starts all over again.

Still in Greenville

Sharon is still at St. Fancis Hospital in Greenville and plans to be there until at least Saturday. The healthcare team is working on balancing her medications so that she is in little discomfort during chemo. When things are where they should be, she'll be able to administer most chemo at home!

She wishes she could chat on the phone more often with her family and friends. All calls and cards are very much appreciated even if not returned immediately. Please know that you are in her thoughts. Please keep visualizing Sharon as her highest and best self.

Sharon is healthy and filled with love & gratitude!!
