Graduation!!!
Hey Y'all! I just wanted to hop on here and give a little life/health update:) I want to thank all of you for your continued prayers and support along my health journey. It is a true testament to our almighty God to see how far I have come within a year. At this time last year I was in extreme pain and could barely walk, a year later I will be walking across the stage as a graduate. GOD IS SO GOOD!!
As far as my health goes, I am doing great right now! I am still on the targeted therapy pills and the immunotherapy. I will receive my 8th Opdivo immunotherapy infusion on May 4th. And on June 6th I will go in for scans. I am asking for prayers that the cancer is continuing to shrink and that I will become NED soon. Additionally, as with any scans there is a high level of stress and anxiety, so I am asking that you keep the mental side of my health in your prayers too.
Lastly, the month of May is Melanoma Awareness month! As many of you know I have been battling this disease for a little over a year now so this cause if very near to my heart. I am so grateful for the advances in medicine and how far it has allowed me to come. I want to help continue to fund this research in hopes of helping other Melahomies get the treatments they need and hopefully find a cure. All proceeds will go towards AIM at Melanoma, an organization whos mission is to fund research initiatives, educate patients and the public to end the disease within our lifetime and improve the lives it affects. Please check out the link attached for a t-shirt campaign and consider supporting Melanoma Cancer Research.
Specific Prayer Requests:
That my next infusion goes well.
That my next set of scans showed that the cancer is continuing to shrink.
That I will become NED soon.
That my mental health is stable around the time of scans.
That I have a great summer with friends and family.
That my family and I are surrounded by the peace of God.
