I keep feeling better and better! I receive an infusion of monoclonal antibodies once a month, and for the rest of the month, I get to travel and see my friends and family! My doctors are extraordinarily happy about my progress, as am I! I really miss my patients and their families, so, please keep in touch and let me know if anyone is graduating! I love you all, and God Bless!

Hi! Here's my most recent news: I had a series of tests this week, and I am doing GREAT! No new cancer! No spread of the leftover "little blob" in my chest! I am getting to spend time with my children and grandchildren and many of you folks! My dogs, Monty and Grace, are getting old, so we're all hobbling around like troopers! I received news this week that I will be continuing monthly infusions for a total of two years unless the current therapy should stop working. I expect that it will continue to do its job, and I will continue to spend lots of time with everyone! Cancer is a bugger! But we all know that I'm a bugger, too, so the "blob" is either going to disappear with Keytruda or God's will, or a combination of both. Meanwhile, I'm living my best life except for how much I miss each and every one of you! Bless you all, Doc L.

Hi everyone! Doctor's Visit and Chest CT today... Great News! *Lung tumor is still visible, but the size is stable. *All labs are normal! *I get to spread out treatments from every three to every four weeks now!!!!! I can't believe the number of cards and letters that continue to flood my way and I am oh, so grateful! Sunday, I was so moved that I cried in wonder as I read through them. (I had been vacationing in Florida for six weeks so there were quite a few waiting for me at home.) Parents, please let your children know that I'm getting stronger every day! I love them!

Hi everyone! I received an email from a family that requested I update the blog, so I'm happy to oblige! I'm doing miraculously well these days. I came to Florida to stay warm and don't have to come back to Ohio until Valentine's Day to get another Keytruda infusion, so I'm coming back on February 13th. I have been getting stronger every day. I walk on the beach or around the city for 10,000 steps every day. I meditate every morning, and I have a cat friend who comes to visit every night and leaves every morning, and gives me love and attention. Some of my dearest old friends live around the corner, and I see them daily. I feel like I couldn't possibly have cancer anymore. My next scan will be on Valentine's Day, and I'll let you know what the results say! This may be my last treatment for a really long time! God bless the amazing physicians and research doctors that are constantly studying and learning how to attack cancer cells with the body's resources! It's fascinating! So…here's to the teams of healers who are literally saving my life!!! Hopefully, the future will allow me to contribute and give back in some small way! We'll talk again after Valentine's Day! Love, Doc L
