Opdivo Treatment #3

Hey Y'all! Thank you for continuous prayers and support, it really means so much to me. On another note, yesterday, I received my 3rd round of my Opdivo immunotherapy treatment. The infusion went well. Other than some fatigue and joint pain, I am not experiencing any side effects. Prayers that it stays this way! I also had bloodwork done yesterday and the results were very good! I am happy to say that my white blood cell counts were high and everything looked stable. It looks as if we may have finally found a treatment plan that my body can tolerate. PRAISE GOD!

I am feeling good right now. I have high energy and am functioning pretty normal. However, this is likely to be a hard month for me mentally, so I am asking for lots of prayers. I have scans coming up at the end of the month. These scans kind of have a lot riding on them because they will be the deciding factor for my return to school. I really want to go back in person so I am hoping and praying that these will go well. Scans can be very overwhelming and bring a lot of anxiety for both myself and my family. Additionally, I am nearing the 1 year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. This is also very difficult as I am nearing the holidays. I have begun to experience some PTSD of being diagnosed and all the uncertainty and bad feelings that came with it. I hope to make new memories this year to replace all of those scary and stressful memories, but I still find slight reminders bothersome. So, I ask for extra prayers this month to ease my anxiety, stress and mental state. I also ask that I will be filled with peace and that my scans will be good. Thank you all for keeping up with me and encouraging me throughout this year. Let's bring some good energy and extra prayers into the month of December! GOD IS GOOD :)

Specific Prayer Requests:

• That my treatment of the immunotherapy coupled with the target therapy drugs kill every cancer cell in my body.

• That I become NED soon. *(NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE)

• That I continue to experience no serious side effects.

• That my scans are great this month!

• That I am able to return back to school next semester.

• That I am filled with God's peace and love this month.

• That my family is filled with God's peace and love.
