confirmation!

Sharon met with the oncologist in Greenville today and he confirmed eradication of the infection!

Sharon & Tim will move to Greenville on Sunday, August 3. She'll begin a new IV Chemo drug on Monday that works well with radiation. Radiation begins on Tuesday and will be a Monday - Friday event while the chemo is 'round the clock. They may visit Asheville on the weekends...

Infection eradicated!

The pesky port infection is nowhere to be found! Sharon's body worked well with the antibiotics and her white blood cells are now back to normal.

Meeting with the radiologist went well today and treatment will begin in Greenville on August 3rd or 4th.

Thank you, everyone, for your continued love and support!!

live, love, laugh

Sharon meets with the radiologist for the first time on Friday. An apartment has been secured in Greenville (thanks to Sharon's daughter-in-law) starting on August 4th. It's only 10 minutes from the Cancer Center, making it a haven for 5 weeks of daily radiation!

Sharon continues oral chemotherapy to keep breaking down the tumor.

The pesky port infection has been attacked with IV antibiotics for almost a week. Ratification is expected with this dose! Sharon's energy has increased and she says she feels good. It's obvious when her laughter is heard through the house!

Visualize Sharon at her highest and best self.

Victory!

Sharon's test results showed that the chemotherapy did exactly what it was supposed to do! The tumor is less dense and has remained local (at the head of the pancreas)! The next step is 5 weeks of daily radiation to SHRINK the tumor.

WHOO HOOOO! It's a good life!

No new news...

Because of a mix up between facilities, the doctors at the Cancer Center haven't seen the test results yet! Another appointment is scheduled for Wednesday.

The suspense is intense!

Enjoying time at home.

Sharon enjoyed the week in Asheville with children, grandchildren and friends visiting.

She experienced some discomfort and fever but avoided infection! She fought the fevers and was able to stay home rather than the hospital. She travels to Greenville on Monday to review the test results with the oncologists at the Cancer Center.

Sharon, we expect the best!!

Still relaxing in Asheville

Sharon has spent a wonderful week in Asheville. Tomorrow morning, she will have some tests done in Asheville to determine the success of the current treatment.

Bring it on - let's see how small that tumor is getting!!
